Has anyone heard of theses being cloned? I saw the clones on the market before I saw the real thing! Said really because the only thing I like about the MBUS's is the cost and the someone had to go out and find a way to be a cheaper copy 
What's next, is someone going to clone a Geo Metro? |

Most popular weapon components are cloned for the airsoft market. One of the LEO on my squad just ordered a few Magpul items off Amazon, and found that he got airsoft junk.

First of all, buying on ebay is a good indication of them being fake especially if they were shipped from overseas or Cali. I recently bought a few sets of MBUS on GB but the seller misrepresented them and they turned out to be PTS. I saw a significant difference in the quality and minor differences in design and function of the PTS vs my real MBUS.
Who was the seller? |

Are they the licensed Magpul Airsoft sights or are they just plain fakes?

The companies that are allowing licensing for Airsoft is just as much to blame.
Who ever saw the day coming that Daniel Defense would license DD hand guards for Airsoft sales?
