I recall reading that they would cost roughly $100.00 total, for a set. IIRC, it was $60 for the rear sight and $40 for the front.

The issue with Magpul products is rarely one of price; availability, on the other hand, can be a challenge. I've every confidence that these will be an instant best-seller ... and deservedly so, from what we've seen so far.

Production is ramped up, and once OEM sales are leveled, they will start shipping to dealers.

Has anyone giving out the height clearance for the BUPS (Back Up Polymer Sight

) for scopes? I think I read somewhere it was something like 0.6X.

The one you have Stickman.. does it use a metal or polymer for the front sight, and is it replaceable?

The image above is the production version. The front sight uses a standard M16 FSP, I guess you could replace it if you really wanted to.

I got an e-mail from Magpul Friday, 20 MAR 2009, on the availability of MBUS and they say MBUS will be shipping very soon - they hope to have them at dealers and on their website in the next two weeks--according to a Magpul employee. I need a set in foliage green...................

For those who "pre-ordered" a bunch went out on friday. I'm hoping to have mine on wednesday.

I was jealous about that from the other forum now you have to make me jealous here too.

Let me know how you like them. I have some on order too.

airsoftgi.com lists them as in stock in three colors. I placed an order, we'll see if it's true.

I recently ordered 3 PTS Magpul Rangerplates for Pmags (PTS mags that is)
and they do fit on RS Pmags, and the do have a hardened floorplate; the only difference ( on first inspection) is that the rubbermaterial is much more flexible and bendable than the RS Pmag Rangerplates.
I'll keep on testing them, but as of now, they seem to be a cheap alternative to the RS Rangerplates.

Lets not get sidetracked with airsoft components, they are not made of the same material, and with real ones in the process of being released, there is no point.

I can understand the anticipation, and I'm interested in seeing if you guys like them as much as I do. There is a review going on for these, but they will be selling to the public before its done and posted.

My finger is tired of clicking. Is there any place where I can pre-order a set?

**Stickman** · 25 March 2009, 09:00

Magpul is currently shipping, and there are individuals who have already received them. I'm not sure if they are shipping to everyone, or if it was simply a limited release. I have heard that dealers should start getting shipments soon (which may mean already).

Stickman,

you are killing me slowly with news like this.............they can't get these out fast enough, can they?

**Stickman** · 25 March 2009, 15:51

I think that they are moving very nicely for S&W on their complete weapons, and I agree that no matter how fast Magpul produces an item, it will never be fast enough. For a manufacturer, thats got to be both a good and bad feeling.
