Im looking to get a narrower front sight post for my front MBUS sight..the standard is too thick and covers up most targets 50yds and out..any recommendations on sights and where to get em would be great

Don't mean to hijack your thread but I was thinking the same thing. I seen some on midway USA like this

I chucked mine in a drill and ground down the tip using a file.

Isn't that the standard size most sights come with?

 

I think the OP was trying to get something thinner

The OP said that the front sight obscures the target at 100 yards. That makes me think that he has the wider A1 sights.

I do have the standard a2 post..did want something thinner...looking at that inverted v post..thanks all for the input

Why not set your front post a little lower and set it up for a 6 o'clock hold? That way it doesn't cover up your target. This is what I do on my AR and then set my red dot to sit on top of my front post and superimpose the target. It works good for me and I am very accurate at 100 yrds with just the MBUS. It's just a matter of getting used to the new sight picture.

Good point. I totally forgot I set mine up like that also.

 

I'm interested in the v post as well
