Well, I'm not a "OR guy" yet, mine will not get here until Monday.
But do have the MagPul Backup sights (MBUS) on our M&P15-22. So I know nothing about how they will hold up to direct heat on a gas block, but we (me and my boys, it's really Cam's 15-22) really like the MBUS. Some don't like that they don't "lock" up. I'm fine with that. They of course are perfect for the 15-22, and I have enough faith in them that I'm picking up another set this weekend for Mondays Great Event
I'll use them as primary on the M&P15OR, until I get the optic I want, and then really use them as backups. On the 15-22 they co-witness (??? is this the correct term ???) perfectly with our cheap holo sight, so when I mounted the holo, we just sighted it in to the backup sights, and it was almost spot on when we got to the range. I just love a not too expensive product that works great, and the MBUS (to me) are that.
Now those Troy Industries sights are a work of art. You pay for that. If cash wasn't a consideration, I'd have to take a hard look at them (or may have got them with the 15T).
