The Magpul MBUS 3 Front Flip-Up Sight (brand part number MAG1166-ODG) is an Olive Drab Green polymer back-up front sight built for the AR-10, AR-15, M4, M16, M110, and SR-25 platforms. Magpul shrank this generation down from the original MBUS while borrowing its aesthetics from the MBUS Pro, standing just 0.47 inch tall when folded and 1.38 inch at its widest point, with a full sight weighing a scant 25 grams. Constructed of impact-resistant polymer and deployed with an ambidextrous push-button, it sits at standard AR height when up and includes tool-less elevation adjustment on its dual-width enhanced front post. The OD Green finish matches olive and woodland-pattern builds.
