EOTech 511 & Magpul MBUS Co-Witness Sight Picture

[CarissimiRBeast]

Why does your front MBUS have a different sight than mine?

[plumberjoe80]

@joshua0288. Mounting a plastic front sight on the front gas block could melt it. That gas block gets really hot in rapid fire.

[bone1050]

hmmm i had to adjust my magpuls up like that as well im having a hell of a time getting rounds on paper with them , im considering just throwing them away

[HyP3rxMiTchXx0]

@ItzHitler rear carring handle or frount post sight?

[kristianheidi]

Nice!

[AdoreYouInAshXI]

Can you please answer this question as soon as possible... I am going to but a smith and wesson m&p 15 tomorrow and I want to get an eotech to go with it.. which model eotech will I need? I like the look of this 511 but can I mount it directly to the picatinny rail? I won't have to buy some kind of mounting kit or anyhting will I? I'm hoping I can get one of these tomorrow.. I can't wait.

[EmpathyWorks]

those magpul backup sights are shit. Just got rid of mine after using them for about a year now and replaced them with my trusty troy industries BU's.

My Eotech 511 is still kicking though :)

[IcabodCrane]

Why would you ever need that many sets of sights? I can't help but to wonder that in a combat situation you'd probably have a bit of difficulty constantly flipping back and forth if you actually utilized them all.

[kipchak]

@IcabodCrane

The backup is just for if your eletric optic fails for some reason.

[IcabodCrane]

@kipchak

well yeah I figured that, but the clicking noises it makes would be rather difficult to cover in a covert situation where you're trying to keep cover at close range. On top of that there's two different backup optics.

Call me old fashioned but I prefer a decent aperture style peep-sight or a scope with one eye open.

[Silverstack3r]

waiting for the wife to get home?

[EDF6399]

Will the 3x eotech magnifier w/fts mount fit over the mbus?

[sheraton68]

Peeps you have to read the description. Most of your questions will be answered.

[InfraRedNeck]

Do you have enough room for the 3x scope to be mounted?

[okiegirl97]

You can get a set of Yankee Hills for $110 on primary arms. I had a set of MBUSs on my ORC until i saw those. 90 for MBUSs or 110 for YHM? YMH for the win!

[StillReloading]

I got same m&p-15 w m bus sights. Found a great deal on eot 511. TWINS

[matthewk7777]

have you had any problems with the mbus on your gas block?

[revistadearmas]

Nice duo of sights, what brand is your AR-15 and model ?

[jmikeslater]

Very nice, thats a great alignment, what rails are you running anf any riser on the eotec?

[Gookis]

Oooo, somebody went to schooool. ;-) (facetiously)

[socdrizzt]

This is what I wanted to see. I have the MBUS sights currently, and they work well. As for the "time" it takes to flip them up, they are considered "backup sites" to be used if/when your primary (eotech/aim point/other) dies for what ever reason. Also as a side note, they are quicker to deploy than most BUIS sites.

When I shoot tactical 3 gun, they are easily in reach of my hands without moving them for quick deployment in the event I forgot to flip them up.

[lustercowx]

i really dont see the need to have the eotech on and the flipups up at the same time

[Mitchellm4a1]

@lustercowx what if your optic goes down? the act of flipping them up takes up valuable time.

[jmikeslater]

@lustercowx

One word "Batteries", ok two words "Electronics" And I dont care if it is made in the USA, I would bet ny AR at least 90% of the electronic parts, (resitors etc) are made in the orient. Lol Just sayin...

[SwoopdySwoop]

@lustercowx thats why their called MBUS sights Back Up Sights

[robs104]

nice house, nicer rifle!

[ThisGuysVids]

$90 for some cheap looking flip sights... what a rip-off.

[jmikeslater]

@ThisGuysVids

Have you checked the prices of the "Good" sights??? YHM or the like. Most of us aren't rich or have wealthy relatives. I personally have three kids, a mortgage and a truck note, so the fact they are inexpensive suits me fine. They work, and they are rugged. we are talking about the real shit and not PTS made in china crap...

[theoroinvictus]

I really dig that sight picture! I might have to pick up an MBUS pair.

[jmikeslater]

@theoroinvictus

Has alot more to do that just the sights and scope, you need the right height rails and maybe a riser, I am not familiar with the eotec mount system. I cant afford one, I end up buying other weapons instead. I guess I need to pick a rifle and deck it out. I am running the mbus now.

[loretto5]

Geez, mbus and eotech looks amazing together!

[lisajon1218]

this is the best fukin youtube demo eer, i just got a smith wesson optic ready 16" flat top and am looking to get this exact setup. how did it work out for you josh?

also whats the diff between the eotech 52.65 or the 511?

[NIKON777]

ur gonna melt your front sight

[patriotsnfl1]

awesome setup

[ybonkers5505]

i like how this video shows how the eotech is paralax free! (i think thats the term) no matter how the reticule seems to move the point of aim stays the same. awesome!

[seniorkickurass]

is that a real EOtech or replica

[MonkeyProductions13]

its real

[seniorkickurass]

nice

[backwoods223]

WOW. man those eotechs are NICE. I've always passed on them because of the price, but i may have to reconsider now!

[cezar858]

Is your gas block rail level with the other rails because some bas block rails are smaller and it might throw off the sights.

[NIKON777]

@cezar858 true, good point.

[clamum]

Thanks for the video, good to see the sight picture with the EOTech and Magpuls. I'm gonna get the Magpuls first but it's good to know the sight picture is great.

[office888]

Uhhh. MBUS will melt, if attached to a gasblock rail. Just a heads up.

[VideoPioneersInc]

I disagree.  I have them on my Stag model 3. Been running them for a month. NO MELTING AT ALL

[office888]

@VideoPioneersInc

Call Magpul.

They'll tell you not to do it.

If you get that gas-block hot (fire 30 rds in rapid succession), the MBUS WILL melt and lose zero. They warned everybody about this.

[blackhatch46]

@office888 what about if you only have a rear mbus? thats all ill need, do you think it would have problems?

[office888]

@blackhatch46

Nope, rear mbus will be fine! The gas block is the only large area subjected to EXTREME quantities of heat. You get heat coming off the barrel, and the heat of the gas system. I've got a permanent burn scar on my arm after I engaged 4 targets with multiple shots, and then accidentally rested my arm against the barrel.

[TheMagnusEffect]

Yeah it will melt. Even Magpul says it will! If you do alot of rapid fire drills or this is your work rifle, you might want to get rails to mount the front MBUIS.

[FatTarget]

Melts just on gas piston rifles, or both piston and DI? just wondering (mine is DI)

[office888]

@FatTarget

Piston too. Gas-block still has hot, high pressure gas flowing into it.

[NIKON777]

@TheMagnusEffect yup, Magpul says not to mount on the gas block. get a troy metal sight

[xphotosniperx]

dog is running for cover xD

[bigdofba]

Cool video. This is the same setup I'll be running once my Magpul MBUS arrives

[ozziebori]

I have the same set up in my RRA ar15. I was afraid to buy the holo sight because of the bulkiness of the front magpul sight. Now i see its not going to be in the way.

[Rositas81]

Good jod on this video . Now I will be buying a Eotech for my AR15 .

[cgh201128]

this is a delicious setup i just nut on myself

[camaroz28406]

THANK YOU! i have been looking for this sight picture all over i do like those sights only one question do they zero well and hold?

[VideoPioneersInc]

Thank heavens.  I thought you were gonna be another 10 year old showing me his airsoft gun.

Just checked They sell on Midway for $55

[CQB91]

Sick i cant find the MBUS Sight on the magpul site where can i find one?

[sayiman432]

How is the front sight attached withour a rail?

[shaokem]

Gas block, instead of a fixed front iron sight it has a gas block with a short section of rail on it.

[samthecat07]

I paid 950 + tax for my S&W OR - got burned. A few months later another dealer had these on sale for 750 + tax with 5 FREE magpul mags..I'm not kidding. Story of my life...

[samthecat07]

Is the eotech riding on the stock mount or a riser? Had to put a riser on my s&w MP 15 optics ready. Wish I had the magpuls also but my scope is too long for the rear one. Any suggestions?

[suzuki8417]

Good job on the vid!!! You just made me buy one! Cheers!

[kingd3001]

nice set up most ar owner swear by the absolute co-witness by me personally i like the lower 1/3 co-witness better

[nickanto]

good lookin set up and good lookin pit bull

[usmcjarhead8762]

man those are SICK iron sights :)

[NIKON777]

@usmcjarhead8762 theyre plastic

[ConcealedCarrier]

What kind of flip-up front sight is that? Troy? GG&G?

Just bought this rifle and I'm really struggling to find the right one.

[bobotea1234]

its the magpul mbus the set comes with front and rear.
