Anybody heard any updates on these or when they might be out?
I can’t seem to find them on the Magpul site now 
They aren’t supposed to be out till Summer.
C4
Well… they didn’t say which summer…
Ignorant out-of-the-loop question:
What’s going to be different/improved about them?
I’ve got a rear MBUS and have been quite pleased with it. Buuuuut…

15% smaller (and presumably about 15% lighter), otherwise no change if I recall correctly.
Nice evolution of the product, but I certainly wouldn’t swap out perfectly good MBUS 1s for MBUS 2s.
Planning on buying some mbus. Any news about gen ii?
also IIRC the front MBUS is supposed to have a spring loaded detente like a standard FSB as apposed to a pin that you install once elevation is set. This will allow to easier elevation adjustment. Once again, I could be wrong on this one, but I remember seeing that somewhere.
They are on the Magpul site:

EDIT: I am not wrong, the front MBUS is as I thought.
"[i]NEW Features for GEN 2
* Reduced size for greater optics compatibility
* Spring-locking front sight post holds consistent elevation[/i]"
According to their website, it’s “coming soon”.
I was also wondering about these, I plan on ordering an AR tomorrow along with some BUIS since I won’t be getting optics for a while. Would hate to order a set of Gen 1’s when the Gen 2’s are going to come out just around the corner.
something tells me that corner is months off…
Yep, I am also thinking the same thing. Either way I will be happy with whatever ones I have on my rifle.
IIRC, all the pictures showing rifles from the Magpul booth at the 2011 shot show all had the GEN-II MBUS sights. It would be nice if they stepped this up a bit. 
I guess I would rather it be fully cooked and not some half baked fuck up, but how much is there really to hash out.
I’m glad they fixed the one issue I had with them.
They will be out later this month if all goes well.
Thank you for your patience.
Awesome, guess I’ll hold off on that new pair of sights I was shopping for.
I hope they are released in sufficient quantity. I hate going to buy something and its sold out everywhere within ten minutes. Looks like a good revision though.
Smaller would be nice, if they would fit under my TR24 Id buy a rear.
Good to hear.
waiting paitiently and these are are a top of my list to buy. I have two sets of their regular mbus, and can give rave reviews.
GREAT, I was just gettin’ ready to buy a set of MBUS for my first AR but I am gonna wait for the new editions, reckon we could get a heads-up when these come out?
