The MBUS Pro. The all-steel back up sighting solution that delivers maximum functionality and strength with minimum bulk at a price that’s even smaller than its size. The dual aperture, windage adjustable rear and no-tool, elevation adjustable front excel in all 1913 Picatinny rail mounting applications, including rail-height gas blocks. Will not regulate with low profile or standard height gas blocks. Positive detents keep the MBUS PRO front and rear at standard AR sight height when deployed, and so low when they are stowed that you’ll never notice them until they’re needed. Narrow width front is compatible with most IR aiming laser and light installations for the professional user.
SPECS:
All steel construction
Elevation adjustment knob – no tools required
Positive detents in both the up and down positions
.432” height above rail at tallest point when stowed
Standard AR sight height when deployed
Stowed footprint covers less than 1 5/8” of rail

Very low profile, but could be better(23/09/2013)
The sight folds very low, but could be made more solid. Pay a little more and get the Troy BUIS
Great for a BACK UP iron sight(20/01/2014)
Good sight. I love that it is steel instead of aluminium, because it is on a piston 716. The tool-less adjustment is a bonus. Its use is for a back-up iron sight. It does not 'button lock' in the open position. If you are using a folding front sight as a primary sight, go with a locking sight. Apparently, some people do not read the description, or understand that concept. It does resist going down; as a back-up sight, it is great.
Good Back up.(26/09/2014)
I use this on a Rugger SR556e. This is good as a set for back up sights, but I would not use this for a stand alone iron sight, just a back up. It can be a bit difficult to adjust elevation. Also it is slightly difficult to snap up into position. But all of these cons may go away with some time and more use. Over all its great quality and works well out to 300m on the range.
Pretty good sight(14/06/2015)
I'm rating this sight as only 3 stars because it I had a issue where I could not adjust it up or down. After toying with it I adjusted it up so high that almost came off. So, not it is adjusting up and down like it should be. But 60 rounds later just to figure this all out at home was kinda frustrating.
Only two issues(24/10/2015)
This is a very sturdy optic. Rugged and flat. I do have two issues with it though.
The first being that it does take up two notches on your rail. On my particular rifle that prevents it from sitting at the furthest front notch.
The second being that When I first went to sight it in the front post was not moving up or down when I turned the adjustment tab. It would rise but then click right back down into place where it just was. I eventually had to take some pliers and hold the post while While I screwed it all the way up and all the way down. kinda upset that I had shot so much ammo and it was the sight having an issue. BUT, I am a Magpul fanatic so I forgave the sight it works perfectly fine now.
