Magpul MBUS with tritium


Recommended Posts

I just went into my box-o-tricks and pulled out a spare rear aperture. I see no reason why a mil-spec sight can't be used to replace the Magpul aperture.

Now I'm thinking of doing a full tritium set. It's a lot cheaper than Troy.

I checked other websites and found a bunch of nay-sayers... Although none have actually tried to make it work. We could be ground breakers on this!

Just a heads up...

I was looking at the design of the Trijicon and the differences between gen1 and gen2 MBUS's. The Trijicon post won't work as well in a gen1.

The post is actually two pieces. The bottom screws down to the level you need to sight in, then the top part spins freely to align the tritium.

The gen1 MBUS doesn't have a front sight lock. Without that little plunger, the top may spin after each shot.

If anyone plans on doing this modification, I strongly recommend the gen2 MBUS as a base.

Sure it does, brother - those long and short roll pins that are included with the Gen 1 are exactly for locking the post into position once you get it set.  <thumbsup>
