All mounting hardware included. MBUS2 Front includes sight post adjustment tool.NOTE: Front MBUS2 is not compatible with railed gas blocks.

Stick, any chance you have an overhead shot of the rear MBUS mounted?

Thanks.

Can you do a shot of a rear gen 1 and gen 2 mounted on the rail one in front of the other to compare?

I know there is the pdf with actual size and such listed.. but are there any actual specs available (height, etc?)



The mbus gen 1 was .625" folded if im not mistaken (easily could be)..

Does anyone know the folder height of the newer Gen II's?

Hi Stickman - thanks for the pics and info.  Say, you've got the MagPul MBUS for sale on your Rainer Arms website, but it doesn't say if its the Gen 2 or Gen 1, and I can't tell from the pics.  Got specifics, and will your website be updated to say that?  Thanks.

Good question, odd answer.  I have the Magpul MBUS GEN II because I shot the pictures for the Magpul website.  As their photographer, I end up with a lot of things before they are mainstream. I'm a full time city cop, and also write for Military Times doing equipment reviews in addition to working as a photographer.  I also help out Rainier Arms where I can as the owner is a good friend of mine, though I admit I am short on free time so I'm probably not all that much help.  I do not believe that Rainier Arms has their shipment of MBUS II sights yet, but I'm almost never at their shop, so I am not 100% positive on that.  

I'll try to find out for you today if RA has received the MBUS Gen II yet or not.

The Gen II looks amazing, I will definitely be getting at least one set of those!!  Nice shots Stickman!!!

Anyone see a dealer selling these in OD yet?  I need a set, but not sure if they're shipping yet.  Any info would be appreciated and probably save me a lot of time looking...

Thanks Stickman for the reply. Not an odd answer by any means!  Oh - thanks for the great pics!  (BTW - would you mind doing a pic of the Gen 1 vs the Gen 2 when you get a chance, if possible?)
