I was going to buy the VMX3 magnifier with swing mount to put behind my Aimpoint PRO but heard reports that the rubber cover will hit my Magpul MBUIS and not work.... Anyone else hear this or have first hand knowledge of my question... If it isn't an issue plz feel free to post up some pics... Thanks!

Indeed, it will hit your MBUS. There is one rear sight that I know of that will fit under the swing mount- Knight Armament makes one. However, some users have shaved out a small portion of the rubber on the magnifier to get it to clear. Otherwise, I would recommend not using the backup irons on the rifle while trying to use the swing mount. Thank you for your interest and if you have any other questions, please let us know.

I am using a MI SPLP rear sight on my XCR and the VMX3 sitting in the ADM swing mount (standard height) just clears it. With a Troy rear sight it rubs a little, but is usable.

YMMV

Thanks for the replys... I think I will get one and shave it down a bit to make it fit... Any chance further down the road to make a rubber cover smaller to clear the ever popular mbus sites?
