Magpul MBUS Pro Hooded Front Sight for AR15
The Magpul MBUS Pro Hooded Front Sight for AR15 is a compact, folding backup iron sight designed for rifles with a same-plane MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny or STANAG 4694 top rail. The hooded front-sight profile supports fast alignment, helps reduce glare, and creates a diopter-style sight picture when paired with the compatible Magpul MBUS Pro Rear Sight.
Built from steel with a QPQ nitride finish, the MBUS Pro Hooded Front Sight combines low stowed height with tool-free elevation adjustment and a reversible front post offering either a 0.040-inch Match width or a 0.060-inch Standard width. It is a single Black SKU, so it should be created as a standalone Shopify product without colour variants.
