Magpul MBUS II is now shipping

[Stickman]

Looks like Magpul just released the MBUS II. Its thinner, lighter, both apertures fold flat, and the front sight post is covered and adjusts with a standard tool, or with the included adjustment tool.

[BobinLaConner]

any side by side pictures..? I'm not sure what the differences are

[Hatter]

Bob,

Check the newsfeed link that Stick posted above. It explains the features and gives a side by side view.

Hey stick do you know what rail system that is?

[Rodman24]

Based on Stick's Flickr photostream, that's a Centurion C4. If you really want to have AR envy, check out his flickr account http://www.flickr.com/photos/stickgunner/

Its the Centurion Arms C4 rail, here is another view that shows the C4 rail and MBUS II.

Are they the same width as the Gen 1's?

[Wondering Beard]

Is that a 9 or a 10 inch rail?

[Stickman]

Are they the same width as the Gen 1's?

A little smaller, check out the spec sheet for that info. On the rail they look and feel much smaller.

[Stickman]

Is that a 9 or a 10 inch rail?

9" rail on a 12.5" barrel.

[Wondering Beard]

Ok, now it makes sense to my eyes.

Very nice setup.

[CaveDog]

Ugh, no way. I just received my MBUS but the older style. Thats life haha.

The older ones have never given me any trouble, and I used them on my duty weapon as well as training weapons.

Stick, can you get a front picture of the MBUS ahead of a PEQ-15? I had problems with the original blocking the beams.

[Stickman]

If I remember I'll try to get a shot. I'm pretty behind on a lot of work right now though.

[goteron]

Thanks, that was my only gripe with the originals.

[Tactical Ninja]

That is the KAC T1 mount correct? I was also curious what the weight on that carbine is if you have those specs?
