Magpul PTS products are required to have the PTS marking on them to indicate that they are intended for Airsoft or Simulated use only.
So, what what are the risks involved if we put the PTS BUS rear sight on our uppers? How about the AFGs?
Just curious, really.
Quality of the materials. i.e. Polymers not manufactured to the same standards or the same QC and in addition metal parts not coated to mil corrosive protection levels. Ignoring obvious durability issues, over all poor QC could make a part like an MBUS unusable for a real firearm (all MBUS front sight posts are robotic driven in to place to ensure correct orientation).
Ok, so no crying if/when the rear MBUS desides to fail. I'll be giving the front MBUS to my son for airsoft fun, no worries there. At some point, I'll replace the rear MBUS with the US made version. For the use I have planned for my firearm, this should serve me well until it's replaced.
