Maybe they will announce the MBUS 4 before the MBUS 3 starts rolling out, and skip 3 all together.

Maybe everything they make is actually made in china. The container ship holding all the fresh new polymer goodness is last in line from Shanghai.

I used to love magpul, still like them, just not as much recently. I was so excited when they showed the glock drum mag at shot show 2020 and said they would have them released by that summer. I understood the delay at the time with Covid and all, but now it has been almost 2 years and all I see is new swag crap and no glock drum mag and no mbus gen 3s. It seems like they are going the standard corporate route, build up a name for yourself with good quality at a good price, then use that earned reputation to over-promise and under-deliver. I hope I'm wrong about that, but seen it happen to many times to think otherwise atm.

Man you guys are hard to please. Magpul has always was really bad at providing estimates during normal times so I'm not exactly surprised they are still bad at it now that the supply chain is completely hosed. I remember when they used to not give etimates at all just to avoid this kind of whining.
I'm not saying it's entirey excusable but I'm also not going to hold a grudge over it. |

I’d rather have them take longer to release a product right the first time. Too many companies rush things to market that are incomplete or haven’t been tested thoroughly. Colt did this with the Python. When magpul releases them hopefully they’ll be nice right out of the box.

I’m afraid they might be waiting to release them until after they’ve confirmed I gave up waiting and bought something else. If I really liked any of you folks I’d take one for the team and buy some other brand. Guaranteed next day, they’d drop.

My main issue is the lack of communication. We can all understand things take time and “stuff” happens. Did they have trouble sourcing bulk polymer pellets? Did they have to go through a couple injection mold iterations? Are they stacking a warehouse to the ceiling before release to ensure enough product can hit the shelves to meet demand? I really don’t like being left in the dark. All of our dollars have brought them to where they are. A little honesty can go a long way. I’ve learned from some great bosses over the years that it won’t upset them if I give them a heads up about missing a deadline or whatever. What irritates them is when I pretend nothing is going wrong until I can’t anymore.
I don’t need a firm street date. But having periodic updates on development and production would go a long way. And they have a sufficient social media presence to make those periodic updates. |

Posts / e-mails in short supply during these hard times? It's one thing to completely miss a release timeline. It's another to not communicate to customers who've already placed orders based on your wayyyy overly optimistic release date. Magpul is better than this. |

The only thing I can figure is that they found a flaw, or flaws in them that required a complete redesign of the sights. When/if they ever come out they might not 100% resemble the sights that they've been teasing this whole time. |

That means they went thru all the design steps, including perhaps a small scale production run. Seems late in the development process to find a significant problem. |

Haven’t seen a single word mentioned in all the shot show coverage about the MBUS 3’s. It’s like they’re pretending they don’t exist. Even as they have sets installed on all their rifles in their booth.

It doesn't really make any sense unless it's just an update to their polymer sights and they are planning to discontinue the Gen 2 polymer MBUS sights... But then again, they never discontinued the Gen 2 PMAGs because the Gen 3 PMAGs came out. |

Some people, and probably departments, still subscribe to the antiquated idea that metal > polymer. Also, some people just like metal. I have a pair of Pros on one of my rifles and love them, but eagerly awaiting the MBUS 3 for the rest of my rifles.

People love to hate on plastic (and MIM) in the gun community but materials science has come a long way. Selection of what material to use needs to be chosen based on strength, weight, corroson resistance, maleability, elastiticity etc and there are some applications in the gun world where plastic is actually the better option. |

My thought is the opposite... They want to unload their MBUS 2 inventory at current prices before they release MBUS 3. Once MBUS 3 is out, selling price of the old version will be slashed... |
