I love these Armslist ads with the sights on backwards...I swear I've seen like 10 of them.

Go out to any public range and just sit back and watch for like 10min, it will blow your mind.

Meh, I tried running the rear site reversed for awhile as the quick release on the MBUS just seemed to feel more natural at the time. For what ever reason, my thumb didn't seem to grab the release as well. If you look at them, it doesn't look like there would be any difference, but it worked for me. At least for a couple weeks; then I tossed the MBUS to my neighbor and got a different setup entirely. Other than screwing with the direction you adjusted for windage, it didn't affect anything.

I'd be more concerned with the MBUS mounted on the gas block. *Sniff, sniff* Do you smell something like plastic burning?

I had a guy that works at great guns tell me one of my sights was on backwards. I politely disagreed and he tried to explain to me that, that was the way he was taught in the military with the same sights. I have MBUS sights. Are those even used by our military?

not to mention the front sight should not be placed on the front gas block... i've seen it at shops before as well.

No they're not used by our military.

That and that front railed gas block is not "Rail height".................................[LOL]


By that is shows me the person selling knows nothing about this AR and was trying to make a little extra buck..................

I was one of those dumbass.. til the mbus got loose from the heat. You shouldve seen my grouping. I couldve hit godzilla!

In all fairness, I run my front MBUS reversed. According to Magpul, the front can go either way, and the previous owner of the sight ground off the release lever on one side. So I'm kinda short of options till I go with another front sight. But yeah, mounting an MBUS on a standard gas block= bad juju.

On his bottom-shelf DPMS, at that. Oh well...more power to him, I guess.

i have a matac (which IS used by our military) it folds towards the back of the rifle just like a mbus

[Punkface]

I don't mind iron sights backwards. It's just a peephole. Why would it matter which way was the front when you're looking through a circle? Same with the front sight. It's a post.

[Kraven251]

I run my front sight reversed, for no other reason than it takes up less real estate on the rail, and I don't have to worry about clearance issues. Though I can't see any reason to run the rear sight reversed for the same reasoning.

Might be a forthcoming "Restriction" in the Feinstein bill.

"All firearms with open sights, are prohibited from being installed the forward and proper direction. Open sights are only allowed to be installed and used for function when installed backwards, sideways, upside-down-ways, slanted, skewed to the right/left/up/down, or in any otherwise manner to render them useless for acquiring a target."
