Install and Zero Magpul MBUS sights

The stuff on the end of the screw is called "microencapsulation" .. it's basically dry powdered loctite/thread locker.. in automotive they say so replace these screws every time as if the stuff is one time use… Idk you could surely just put a drop on if you're worried about it coming loose

Just installed mine by smacking the shit out of the iron sight with my bottom palm lol I thought I did something wrong guess not lmfaooo

Thanks for sharing!

This was super helpful, I was losing my mind trying to get the front sight on. Never occurred to me to just hammer it on

why didn't you put a little vaseline on the rail instead of hitting the sight with a hammer?

Thank you!!

I think you said it backwards. If you raise the front post, you will lower the point of impact. If you lower the front post, you will raise the point of impact. In your example, you were shooting high. Therefore, you would need to raise the front post. The way I understood you to say it was backwards.

Great video. Was nervous to tap it w hammer but had to

I installed my front sight backwards so I don't have to see the ugly backside of it and it works just great, just in case anyone else didn't like seeing the ugly backside of the sight. Highly suggested

The Lollipop.

What kind of rail is that?

I guess I had all mine backwards the entire time, even though i hit target with it backwards.

You over explain so much it is annoying as hell!

Thank you so much . For lesson. Perfect tutorial.

Do you need blue loctight?

Mine were tight , on an Aero Precision AR9 build. I expect to use this build at less than 50 yards. I like these sites and chuckled at the packaging that stated they were made for 5.56 . I am using them for a 9mm .

Скажи пожалуйста, как данные прицел будет вести себя на пневматики с газовой пружинной

The problem with these split rail sights is that the rail is in two pieces! Micro differences between the front and rear rails and sights! Plus, they are composite, giving a little! I've noticed my mono rail 22lr and 12 ga have very tight shot groups! On to something? No split rail, plus they are Alum., all metal. Mabey take down pins for split rail ar's need a tighter tolerance? Bandaid? Thread tape? Scotch Tape? I would love to figure out my S&W 15-22 accuracy problem, Any Ideas? MBUS worked great for first 100 rounds or so, then couldn't hit anything! Mabey loose barrel? Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

I have tried to install this for hours it has left me in tears before

Thanks for this video! The info on sighting it in makes perfect sense!

Your next video, stand closer to the mic. Sounds like you're on the other side of the room. I had to put the headset on to understand what you're mumbling about.

How that Ballistol works for you?

I have not tried it at the range yet, using a magnetic laser bore sighting tool I wound up with my rear sight almost all the way left and my front sight almost all the way down. I'm wondering, could my set of sights be defective, or are these extreme settings sometimes required with MBUS sights? I don't recall ever needing such extreme adjustments on an M16.

Yes it's loctite!!!

If you raise the post your POI will drop.

I’m so glad I went to YouTube!! I nearly hammered the thing onto the rail top-down… sliding it is the trick to get it on. I think I would’ve broke something

I see you made this video about 8 months ago and had very tight sights. I just installed about my 10th set of Magpul sights and they were extremely tight to mount on the rail. I never had this issue before either. At first I thought the sights or the rail was defective. I guess it's a good thing because once it is mounted you almost don't need the screw, lol. Magpul must have tightened up their tolerances a little bit, it will probably be better in the long run. Magpul sights are solid sights for the money.

My front sight is good with night but it seems like it’s more to the left I need more right .. help

I just want to know each click Equals to what. Im using armo dynamic paper zeroing target and no clue what those numbers on the paper mean.

F.O.R.S
front opposite rear same

My sights were incredibly tight as well.

I wouldn't beat on polymer w/a hammer bro

I ran into the same issue when installing mine on my handguard (Aim Sports Wraith). I ended up using the rubber mallet that came with my roll punch kit to tap it on.

Great information, I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing
