Here are some pics of a set of Magpul PSD MBUS sights I ordered off eBay from a website called Waridiot.com

I paid $27.50 for these sights which included shipping from Hong Kong. I showed these sights to a fellow 15-22 MOE owner and he said they are virtually identical to his.

The sights are tight, articulate smoothly, don't wiggle when extended and there are no visible mold seams.

It took about 14 days to get.

Notice how much postage is on the envelope - $20 + $5 + $1 + 10cents = $26.10

I only paid $27.50 for the sights (shipping was included) :confused:

Those stamps are in Hong Kong dollars, not US.
So at the current exchange rate of 7.79038 HKD to 1USD your $27.50 actually works out to something like $214.3295 HKD.
 
Didn't know about HKD. Interesting. So it was about $3.50 to send them.

So based on that, that leaves about $24.

Subtract out 50cents in materials and the 25cents per day they pay the little kids in the sweatshop to make them :), they make about $23.25+ on each set.
 
That's probably an overstatement, good plastic costs more than that :), but essentially you are correct.
 
PTS is technically their "training and airsoft grade" gear, but I have a feeling it would work just fine on a .22

Nice been waiting for someone to buy them I was kind of scared to order from them seemed to good to be true thanks for taking one for the team I will be ordering mine today:D
 
I just recieved my shipment of these exact same sights form Hong Kong on valentines day, someone loves me. They were from UTG Tactical Gear and were $22.00 shipped to my door. They kept me well informed via email of my order, very satisfied with them too. Just another option if your interested in these sights.

Set of Front & Rear Sights--Black

Can you do me a solid and measure the height from the rail to the top of the rear sight when folded down I bought a riser for my scope so i could buy the back up sights if i can get away with these ones it will save me $65 thanks man
 
I have a set on the way, same price, HKarmory seller. Also have the airsoft version of the VLTOR EMOD stock. As far I can tell, no differences.
This stuff is great for the M&P and less than half the cost. Gotta love Hong Kong/China.

The EMOD held up to 50 rounds thru the shotgun too, so I'd say its tough.
 
tylerrybkowski,
If your worried about it blocking your scope I don't see a problem unless your scope is really low. I have mine on with a reflex red dot sight and it doesn't even come close to blocking it. I don't really know how far it stands above the rail as of now because I'm stuck at work till 3am est. I'll measure it and get back to you on that when I can.

Yeah I have the nc star it sits low i bought a 1/2 " riser but still want to make sure thanks for the help man now get back to work:D
 
I purchased a set from a Cali dealer for the same price last year. They have held up fine to my weekly range trips. They are more accurate than my red dot.

1/2 riser allows me to use the mbus through the bottom 1/4 of the red dot sight.
 
tylerrybkowski,
Finally got around to measuring them. They are 3/4 of an inch higher than the rail when collapsed.
 
I just got the same thing, different ebay seller but same $27 price and box and product. Ran about 500 rounds through today, these sights are great! I had only the rear real mbus before, was going to also replace the front then came across an earlier thread on same topic here. I will be returning the real mbus as this pts clone set runs just fine on the mp15-22!
 
RIGHT ON!! i sure am glad everybody seems to like 'em my set should be at my door any day now. i was worried they were gonna be chincy but I guess not.
 
just found black and dark earth on ali direct for 22.00 bucks. ships in 3-8 days. looks like they have china magpul stocks for 20 bucks as well.
 
Got mine today, love them already. Good buy for the money.
Whats ali direct? Google doesn't list anything.
 
Sighted the sights in today but it seems I had to unscrew the front sights quite abit in order to lower the grouping. Now the grub screw doesn't make contact with it and the sight moves freely. Gonna have to figure something out for that.

Same thing on mine. I took the grub screw out. The sight pin is very tight in it's threads, and even after 500 rounds it did not move at all and is still just as tight. It's not going anywhere.

Hi,

I am experiencing the same thing as you guys. I had to really jack up the front post to bring down the POI. I don't think it moves a lick though. By the way, I just got my 15-22 how do I tell if I got these or the regular magpuls?
 
its aliexpress.com

had one set that took 15 days to ship, think someone on this thread got that one.
 
Is aliexpress.com legit? They have EOtechs for like $80 and Trijicon - ACOG for around $100. Are these knock offs or a scam?

Those are knock off's for airsoft use. For example, a clue "EOTech 557 Red & Green Dot Sight Scope for airsoft", and the shipping from Hong Kong.

The MagPul sights there are knockoff counterfit's also. For example the "Magpul MBUS Front and Rear sight" on the site, the clue for those is (after you click on the picture) the 'GreenBase Trading Co., Limited" across the picture and the shiping location from Hong Kong, and the 'GreenBase Trading Co., Limited" just happens to be a company that specializes in low quality knock offs whos actual manufactuing happens to be in China.

The Trijicon's are knock off's too, and a little pricy for knock offs as well in some cases.

OK, some may be for airsoft. What about this?

Wholesale Free Shipping Leupold 4.5 14X50 Riflescope Hunting Scopes

A $1000 Leupold for $80. Has anyone bought one of these to verify that is a knock off? And I know that if if it seems too good to be true then.... However there is that part of me and probably most of you that hopes to grab that amazing deal!

Knock off. Sometimes its not so obvious. The first clue here for me is the price and knowing that Leupold doesn't license for sales of their products new below a certain MSRP precentage (I just happen to know that from working on counterfit imports seizures in the past) and this is way below that. My next clue is the silver letter etching and no Leupold medallion. The medallion is something all Leupold scopes have, and all real Mark 4 scopes are always engraved black on black and have the name "Leupold" engraved on the black ring.

Leupold warned of this exact counterfit scope here > http://www.leupold.com/corporate/resources/counterfeit-warning/

It is a deal though for those budget minded and might work fine for a while in a 15-22 environment, but I don't recommend that you buy it.

In the world of conterfits and knock offs, the term "if its too good to be true..." is a real thing.
