Stick will the MBUS fit on this?
Stickman, how much room does the front MBUS take up? I think it takes up four spaces in a rail. I just purchased the same exact upper as this one with MOE handguards and want to mount the MBUS. I think it will work if I keep it in the up position.

You can't mount the MBUS on a gas block, the temperatures are too much for the polymer to handle, especially with heavy volumes of fire.
On a side note, that gas block is lower than the rail, so you would need a taller model either way.

Is the MBUS available now? I have not seen any for sale.

Not really, still have a very affordable rear sight, and the lower gas block rail dictates one of the above front flip-ups anyway. I don't see that as a losing situation.

will this YHM work? I'm wondering if it will be high enough to work with a rear MBUS.
also I need to mount my front BUIS on the gas block because I'm using MOE hanguards.

I just mounted a set of MBUS on my S&W M&P (flattop rec. + flattop gas block) and I had to trim up my Magpul XT rail covers over my DD Omega 7 rail to allow for the front MBUS to lay flat--still dead sexy sights. Still waiting for a MBUS set in foliage green too. I'll post pics later.
