View Full Version : New UBR talk (aka the Drake and Larry show)

In talking with Drake from Magpul, the UBR almost always seems to get brought up in some manner or another. The production models are slightly different than the earlier model I've been playing around with, but only in some minor things that aren't' going to affect its overall appearance or abilities.

Here are a few picture of Drake shooting the UBR on his blaster while working with Larry Vickers at a recent class. I'll point out that these are not my pictures, these are Drakes, and the only reason they are tagged with the WEVO logo is because we are hosting them for him.

Anyway, I figured a few new pictures of the UBR couldn't hurt, and it gives us a chance to talk back and forth about it over here.

The usual question seems to pup up. When will the UBR be released? [:D]

They are completing a few of the last steps to the best of my knowledge, but after the complaints they have gotten when they have given good faith estimates, I don't blame they for not given specific dates.

The upper is a 13.7 inch CMMG with a perm. mount KX3 for a total of 16". The rails are a 13.0 DD. I'm a big fella and was looking for a little more space on the rail for the scout light, pressure pad, VFG and still be able to hold with the offhand.

Oh, first post. Great job over here Stick. Thnaks for hosting pics for me.

Does the UBR have any kind of shock absorber in it?
Do you like your CMMG, would you recommend their uppers?
Thanks,for the pics!

Shock absorber or pad? I'm thinking you mean pad. I'm hoping that the buttpad is a little better than the CTR. It's nice and non-slip but it could have a little more cushion but really doesn't need it I guess...

Patience gents. [BD]

I for one would rather wait for MagPul to get it right, straight from the get-go. Rather than deal with a Microsoft mentality of releasing a product with known "issues" and then plugging the holes later as they get around to it.

I figure I'll get to see the MOE/MBUS in Orlando '09 at the very least.

They are supposed to be released this year so you should be GTG.

Whos selling them? none of my Magpul dists have them.

None are actually out yet, they must be spots in line for pre-orders.

I'm curious as to what shops claim to be selling these, in black, or in any other color. Any links, or was this something that was alluded to...?

Kind of like the places that have shown the UBR as available for the past few years.

For clarification, I was responding to the post questioning the Magpul MBUS (Magpul Back Up Sights) availability.

Is this what you are commenting on, or something different?

My antivirus blocks that link, is it for the Magpul Back Up Sights, or just the UBR?

My mistake entirely. I was commenting on the availability of the UBR. I'm sorry for the confusion.

Ahh, that makes more sense. The new UBRs are nice, you guys should enjoy them.

I think most people know they are available in all four of the Magpul standard colors (which could make Tiger Stripe cry).

Sorry guys, I was referring to the UBRs. I have one in route to me also. Black seems to be the most readily available at the moment but I know that eventually all four colors will be available.
