4.0 out of 5 stars Great sight for the money., August 10, 2010

Magpul has come up with an inexpensive, durable alternative for rail-mounted back-up iron sights (BUIS). And they ain't iron. These sights are made of a polymer similar to that used for Glock frames. It is tough, takes quite a bit of abuse, and will hold it's zero. At about half the price of similar metal back-up sights, it is quite a bargain. The rear sights are ONLY adjustable for windage. Any elevation adjustments need to be done with the front sight. And as the other reviewer noted, if you want the larger aperture to be your default, you need to leave the smaller one folded over, which causes it to stick up about 1/4 inch higher when the sight is in the down position. They are spring loaded, and will pop up with a touch of the release catch. They also lock into the up position, and will not flop back down under recoil.


Overall I gave this sight a 4 out of 5 stars. The reason it did not get 5 is because of the lack of elevation adjustment and the relative bulk of the sight compared to metal ones. It still sits low enough on the rail to not interfere with most optics. But it is significantly wider and chunkier. For the price and overall durability, this is a good choice. I have sevral of these in black and other colors. They have held up collectively to thousands of rounds without any problems. If I were planning on staking my life on a BUIS, I would go with something else. But for plinking, or a low-cost back up for optics, these work just fine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed., June 17, 2010

Magpul has come out with a great alternative to existing BUISs with this plastic fantastic.

Pros:
Low cost, half of the competition
Lighter weight, but still plenty strong.
Low profile, sleek

The lock-up seems solid. One disadvantage is that if you want to use the wider ghost ring you will have to flip the small ring out of the way. It sticks out a little bit, so your 'default' sight will be the large ring.
