Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SPQR-476: The MBUS 3 sights presented some engineering challenges. We wanted sights that were smaller than MBUS, with more features, and the same or better drop performance. We announced based on initial forecast timelines, but we had some changes along the way, as well as some supply chain challenges while we were trying different things out. We have ended up using a new polymer formulation for certain parts, and there were a lot of testing and revision cycles to make sure we met our desired requirements. It has been an embarrassingly long time, but we are finally building. Planned release is before the end of October. They are everything we wanted. Will also see some other things shipping in October and Nov. As far as not being a firearms accessory company, we still put out more, and more ambitious firearms products than anyone else. I can assure you that the Daka pouch and novelty sock people are not the same people as the stock people. We are hiring on both sides, currently, to increase bandwidth on everything. We will, however, partly because of the MBUS 3 delay fiasco, be moving to more of a cycle where we announce products when they are ready to ship rather than announce at SHOT and then announce shipping during the year. We do have some very, very cool things coming at SHOT show, though, and a ton of things in the works--there are over 50 active firearms programs, currently. Given the way social media and content production are currently working, we feel less of an imperative to announce products at SHOT if they are not ready to ship, so expect releases throughout the year from here on out. |

Someone has to have received a set of these by now. For those that have, what are your impressions of them so far?

I just ordered a couple of sets from Botach. It was $79.98 each and free shipping (over $100).

I got five sets in last night from Lanbo's, ordered the first day they had them in stock (which was a week after the first batch direct through Magpul). Got a pair of rears in direct from Magpul....very nicely done.

  I got my rear MBUS3 rear sight on Nov. 1, 2022 after I got an e-mail notification on Oct. 25th from Midway. I have both the older Magpul MBUS1 & MBUS2, this new one is better, more compact and lower height than the older models. |

MBUS Pro vs. MBUS 3
    Not my pics, I still need to order a couple sets after Christmas. By the looks of things, I’d say the wait was worth it. |

I still haven't jumped in on these yet since I was waiting for some pictures and reviews... Thanks for the pictures!
 I'll have to get a set to try out on one of my Beretta ARX-100s. I had the Magpul Pro sights on the ARX before, but they were incompatible because the front sight would fold under recoil. Since the MBUS 3s are spring loaded they will not have that problem and they are similar (at least at the front) to the Pros which I like. |

Had problems with front sight, ran out of adjustment at 25 yards. Was shooting about 8 inches high at the tallest adjustment of the front sight, where you have the option to change the blade width. Either the rear sight is too tall or the front is too short. Bought the pair from brownels. Was using a palmetto state upper.

Not sure of the intended purpose of the pics considering this is a MBUS 3 thread, but I think all they did for me is sell me on the PROs. |

Will try on next range run, but its an inconvenience with cost and time.

I very much enjoy the improved sight picture. You can actually see things around what you’re aiming at now.
