Magpul’s MBUS Pro Hooded Front Sight is a compact, yet highly capable upgrade that delivers both speed and precision for today’s shooters. Building on the trusted performance of the company’s original MBUS Pro Front Sight, this new version incorporates a diopter-style sight picture via a sleek, curved hood design that reduces glare and enhances sight clarity in a variety of lighting conditions.

Designed to pair seamlessly with Magpul’s MBUS Pro Rear Sight for a complete diopter setup, the MBUS Pro Hooded Front Sight also works flawlessly with other Magpul rear sights thanks to its standard AR sight height. Shooters can tailor their aim with the dual-width post, which offers both a narrow .040-inch match-grade option for pinpoint accuracy and a wider .060-inch standard profile for quick target visibility.

Elevation adjustments are simple and tool-free, giving marksmen the flexibility to adapt on the fly. When it comes to size and weight, the sight maintains a low-profile footprint, using just 1.71 inches of rail space when stowed. Its all-steel construction is coated with a corrosion-resistant QPQ finish for protection from harsh environments.

Made in the USA and built to the same standards as the rest of the MBUS Pro line, this sight is designed for rugged field use without compromising on precision. With compatibility across all MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny and STANAG 4694 rails—including receiver-height gas blocks—the MBUS Pro Hooded Front Sight is a versatile addition to any rifle setup.

MSRP is $94.95. Go to magpul.com.
