i have found for sale some magpul backup sights for very cheap... im wondering why they are so cheap.. unless they are maybe fakes... any input ?
the sights are Magpul MBUS they want 22 dollars for Both front and rear sights in tan ... 17.50 for black |

Quoted: There are 20 different airsoft copies including the 'official' Magpul PTS sights.. your better off just paying the $$ to get it right the first time. Due to Magpul creating the PTS line, there actually are no illegal clones of the MBUS that I'm aware of. Quoted from another site very similar to this but strangely never referenced so I'll not mention the site name even though you can figure out what I'm talking about: "The PTS brand are Magpul licensed airsoft products made in Hong Kong and marked as such. PTS items use generic polymer and not PMag type resin that the US items are made of. Other hardware is probably different in terms of coatings and such. As such PTS items should only be used on Airsoft guns. " Now, Troy, DD, LaRue, Noveske.... that's a different story. |

well the siting was on ebay..but shortly after i posted my question... all the sales that i was referring to ended. I dont know if they were for airsoft or not but i do know that now all the magpul sights that i search for come up as atleast 90 dollars for the set.
so more then likely they were in fact airsoft or copies |

OP Look here for detailed pic: http://www.airsoftextreme.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=4186 $95 for the airsoft set? That seems odd. I just looked and the real versions are available for basically the same price at several of the vendors at the top of this page. |

They'll still work on airsoft.  |

No it was 95 for the real ones... or rather different ones... they were definatly not marked for air soft... I saw some for airsoft and those were around 30 to 50 range... the ones i originally posted about were listed at less then 30 for the set. ... anyway.. thanks for the input
