Noveske Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Anyways, back to the MBUS..... (I feel my thread's been hijacked with PTS debates!) Link to post Share on other sites
Whan Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 That rifle's hot. Also, is it me, or does the MBUS look shorter than other BUISs? Link to post Share on other sites
Touchette Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Also, is it me, or does the MBUS look shorter than other BUISs? I thought the MBUS looks to be a little shorter in height when raised than some others yes. I'm only going off pictures though. Noveske, please helps us out on this one.

uscmCorps Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Anyways, back to the MBUS..... (I feel my thread's been hijacked with PTS debates!) Ahhhh!!! The first smart comment of the day! Enough about all this silly talk of Magpul vs. Magpul PTS! Back to the pics! (Thought I'd throw that in there for Pedro30). Thanks for the wonderful post USCM Corps. I just hope you don't get worked up over how people are just prone to all sorts of ######. I go through phases. Usually I just turn a blind eye to it and ignore it. But when the stupidity gets enough momentum you kinda have to set the record straight. Otherwise the stupidity becomes "fact" and before you know it everyone is circulating the same BS because some muppet had a personal grudge against a specific company. These forums, and our participation on them, are (I hope) to improve the community ... not devolve it. And to keep the topic pertinent: Boom. That ^^^ just happened. Link to post Share on other sites

rws591 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Do I count 10 sets, all non-PTS Magpul? Just wondering, why so many? Link to post Share on other sites

uscmCorps Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Get any in black? Do I count 10 sets, all non-PTS Magpul? Just wondering, why so many? I've got a lot of guns... and a lot of friends. Link to post Share on other sites
Kiki-Jiki Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I've got a lot of guns... and a lot of friends. ...Can I be your friend? Seriously though, are the MBUS (real ones) just on whoever-pre-ordered-them-gets-them-until-we-make-more or what? I need a FDE rear sight... Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 ...Can I be your friend? Seriously though, are the MBUS (real ones) just on whoever-pre-ordered-them-gets-them-until-we-make-more or what? I need a FDE rear sight... ^ Pretty much. Magpul first had to fill orders made by other companies, such as Bushmaster, who ordered the MBUS to include them with their rifles. After these orders were filled, Magpul could then fill the call-in pre-orders made. (There's a thread on Arfcom, www.ar15.com, about this. Industry>>Magpul) After the above orders/pre-orders are filled, the MBUS will begin to trickle down to those of us not lucky/quick enough to get onto the pre-order list. I have a feeling they'll get snatched up quickly, though, so if you see them in stock, jump on them as soon as possible. -Vic P.S. I'm pretty sure this information is correct. Correct me if it's not.

REVOA4 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Not to be beat a dead horse but the quality of my PTS products are fantastic! I would not hesitate for a second to order more. And for what its worth here is a shot of ACM MBUS I received. EDIT: ACM Mbus quality is not the best, for airsoft it will manage but I would not be interested in buying these acm again.

Noveske Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I thought the MBUS looks to be a little shorter in height when raised than some others yes. I'm only going off pictures though. Noveske, please helps us out on this one. Shorter in terms of height? or length when folded? In terms of length when folded, it is longer than your standard BUIS (I'm comparing to the Troy). In terms of height when flipped, I'll have to get back to you later tonight when I'm at home.. LOL. Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticMag Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Nope, they have "MI" molded into them instead of the Magpul logo, and have had that for awhile. Must be a new run. Link to post Share on other sites

Sonny Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 REVO glad to see Im not the only one who put theirs on the Vltor sight tower gas block At first I have to say I wasn't happy about having to slide these onto the rail. Wish there was an easier system of putting it on like other sights do. Especially a pain in the *albatross* on the Masada having to take everything off the top rail, and sliding the whole length just to get the front sight on. Also, the little key they give you...doesn't even fit the hex screw?! The ease of the flip up is an excellent feature. Nice to be able to deploy these in a matter of seconds. Even though I've been bitten a few times slapping it across the top...ouch. Ill stick to the side releases. Overall very pleased with it. Another top quality item from PTS. I just order a black set as well to go with my G&P WOC GBBR coming next week. Picture of it on my custom M4: On the Masada: Link to post Share on other sites

Sonny Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Its does...but I like the Mbus better. Easier to slip up. If I could I would remove the one that came with the Masada. If anything Ill just use the Mbus rear. Link to post Share on other sites
Kiki-Jiki Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Picture of it on my custom M4: http://www.ggkthnx.com/upload/~off/images/IMG_1145.JPG Hope it's not too much to ask, but can you take a picture with the sights flipped up? My gun is quite similar to yours (black body though) and I'm not sure if I want to just get a rear MBUS and a Knight's style folding front, or get an RAS gas block with a front MBUS. So I'd just like to see how it looks flipped up. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Got mine today, I'm really impressed with the finish. Now I need to get me a another gas block. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Did a height comparison between the Magpul MBUS (real), Troy/Noveske sights (real), and replica KAC 600M BUIS: The sights line up just fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Azulsky Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 If anyone is jonesing for MBUS, AirsoftGI has apparently stocked the real Magpul ones in lieu of the PTS ones. Link to post Share on other sites
