Magpul – MBUS Pro Hooded Front Sight (All-Steel, Picatinny)

The Magpul MBUS Pro® Front Sight – Hooded is a compact, all-steel, battle-ready front sight engineered for shooters who prefer a diopter-style sight picture for faster target acquisition, reduced glare, and improved precision.

Built with the strength and durability Magpul sights are known for, this hooded front sight pairs perfectly with the MBUS Pro Rear Sight to create a clean, natural focal point similar to classic diopter-style systems. Its rotating dual-width sight post allows shooters to switch instantly between a highly visible 0.06" Standard width post or a 0.04" Match width post for precision shots. Tool-less elevation adjustment and positive detents ensure rock-solid lockup during hard use.
