The plastic forms very sharp edges when you snap it in half!

I got mine from JoeBobOutfitters.com for around $80, that's the cheapest I found. They are Magpul MBUS Gen 2 sights.

I've seen others, but they are called Magpul "PTS" sights, be careful because they are the lower quality "airsoft" versions.

Ahhh thank you brother, I found some on outdooroasis.com for about $70 shipped. I'll double check to make sure they're the 2nd gen MBUS type.

The MBUS sights are about as cheap as quality flip-up sights get. They're not as durable as, say, Troys, but they're durable enough for backup sights and they are sufficiently accurate. I have a rear Gen II on an SBR and I like it a lot. Easier to deploy and retract than the Troy, although I don't do that enough for that to be a big deal.

Buy from a reputable reseller. Prices are pretty standardized and don't vary by more than a few bucks from place to place. IMHO, SKD Tactical is an excellent place to buy this kind of stuff. VERY fast shipping and they are utterly reliable.

Agreed, not the best quality, and they are polymer, but as backup sights they do serve the purpose.

My primary is a red-dot but should it fail, I can pull it off and go iron sights.

Or even just flip them up, as they co-witness, so I can use them with the red-dot still mounted.

This is the exact dame deal with me and my Rock River AR.

Nice!

Sometime in 2012 I am going to put a nice optic on my AR. I plan on using the MBUS backup.

Right now I am using a PSA carry handle which works 100% fine for me... but ultimately I want to step it up.

I highly recommend the Aimpoint PRO. At $400, it's got to be the most cost-effective high-quality optic available. I don't particularly care for the Aimpoint T-1's on my rifles pictured above. I do have a few Eotechs and I like the XPS/EXPS series, although I must say that I have come to prefer the single-dot reticle on the Aimpoint PRO.
