Here’s is the product announcement from Meprolight:
Recognizing the increasing demand for AR rifles and pistol platforms required additional back-up sight options, Meprolight® introduced Mepro FUBS— tritium-enhanced, self-illuminated front and two-dot rear back-up sights— designed to provide secondary sighting solution in case the primary optics go down.
The advanced, low-profile Mepro FUBS sights— mounted to any Picatinny rail— are extremely durable. The fiberglass reinforced polymer and metal construction houses the tritium vial which provides the illumination allowing you to confidently engage targets day or night. A spring-based locking mechanism allows you to quickly flip them into place when needed. Sight pin elevation is simple to adjust, no tools needed.
Unique Advantages:
- Low profile and lightweight design
- Designed as a back-up sight, can be used as a primary sight
- Rugged fiberglass reinforced polymer and metal construction
- Compatible with all MIL-STD Picatinny rails
- 12 year warranty for Night Sight luminance
If you own an AR platform rifle and want to upgrade your self-defense capabilities, check out the Mepro FUBS, Mepro FRBS or the traditional AR-15 self-illuminated green dot front and rear sight specifically designed to fit all standard sights with the choice of thin front sight or standard sight for the A1 version.
