Search for ARMS, lawsuit and LaRue and make your decision.

former ARMS customer, new Magpul customer and continued LaRue fanboy.

I like the ARMS sights better. Lower profile,solid.I must be the only person that does not have a hate for all things SWAN.

Just remember, they are "backup" sights. I bet it has been two years since I flipped my 40l.

I'd vote MBUS... I love how quickly they deploy and seem to be really solid...

plus Swan is a Dick, so....

Well...I am definately and seriously thinking of not buying A.R.M.S. now do to "Mr. Swan being a royal f@#$ing deuschebag from becoming sue happy. I understand defending yourself from an employee who robbed a patent but to sue larue over using the trademark "1" and "7".......come on Lokks like i will have to look at larue as well and compare them to magpul

+1

Love the MBUS!
I have two sets, one on a AR57 and one on a 458 SOCOM. they're solid, they work, and the price is easy on the wallet.

... plus A.R.M.S. are sue happy bozo's, they also have a suit against Magpul, you can read about it in the Magpul industry forum.

I would go with the ARMS #41.  I've never heard one bad reivew about that BUIS.  It's been around....seen combat and such.  Rock solid.  Heard mixed reviews about the MBUS.  FWIW...

Out of the two, Magpul all the way.  I like my MBUS.  Besides that, Dick Swan is a piece of shit and shouldn't get a cent of your money.

Magpul, or anything else but arms. They suck.

At this point I wouldn't use arms, even if it were free.  Just my 2 cents.

My Magpul MBUS rear sight has a tiny bit of play in it from side to side. It is barely noticable but still.  Good sight for $40, though. I'd buy it again at that price but would like to upgrade to something made of metal eventually. YMMV
