    This rifle likely won't see a lot of abuse any time soon...my work rifle sees plenty, but the rest of them are safe queens and range toys

    I have had horrible luck with MBUS. I really like them until they come apart. I'm running the pros now and haven't had any issues only about 3k on the pros so far though. Always had great luck with Troy but they are spendy.

    I have a counterfeit Amazon one on a sig 522 and it works just fine for that...seems built enough I wouldn't mind running them on a 5.56 if push came to shove...but i'll stick with real ones when I can

    had 2 front sights come apart and 2 melt from sustained suppressed auto fire. to be fair the suppressor also was destroyed. the 2 sights that came apart magpul replaced no questions asked they are awesome for customer service.

    here is a photo with the pros deployed they have been the best set of inexpensive metal sights I have tried. at first I didn't care for the locking mechanism as it doesnt lock solid the sights return to closed by flipping but it works so can't complain

    The pros are nice. I have the rear on my rifle currently. Would like to swap gas blocks, extend my rail, and get the front Mbus pro eventually...just need an optic and a trigger first

    Ah. At first glance I thought they were stippled. How do they compare to the rest of the market?

    They're equal to any other polymer bodied mag on the market with the added feature of color coding.
