Front Sight - Magpul MBUS
$37.99Manufacturer Magpul Product Type Optics Manufacturer SKU MAG247-BLK UPC Barcode 873750004310 Magpul’s MBUS (Back-Up Sight) makes the perfect addition to any AR-15 or M16 platform rifle. This American-made front sight is spring-loaded, so it leaps into action in a split second – yet rises only about 1/2” above the rail when not in use.
Magpul’s proprietary polymer withstands an amazing amount of abuse before it can even think about cracking. The sight also avoids damage as it folds itself inward during impact. Yet as strong as the MBUS is, it weighs a mere 1.2 oz. (including hardware).
The MBUS will help your rifle keep a low profile, as it is only 2.6” long when not in use (or 1.5” while deployed). You can easily mount it to most MIL-STD-1913 picatinny and STANAG 4694-railed hand guards, and while Magpul does include an elevation adjustment tool the MBUS is additionally compatible with most aftermarket A2 front sight adjustment accessories.
Please note that the MBUS cannot mount to a railed gas block (it can’t handle the heat). It must also be mounted to a railed fore-end on the same plane as the receiver’s rail. -
Peltor Sport RangeGuard Electronic Hearing Protector Earmuffs - Gray - 21 NRR - 1 Set
$47.85Manufacturer Peltor Product Type Eye Ear Protection Manufacturer SKU RG-OTH-4 Quantity 1 UPC Barcode 51141990590 The Peltor Sport RangeGuard Electronic Hearing Protector is quite a high tech piece of safety equipment. It blots out the reports of gunshots marvelously, so when you’re old and gray you won’t have to annoy your neighbors by turning the television volume up to 100 just so you can hear what the people on your shows are saying. (You may still wind up doing this anyway, of course.) In spite of its stellar ability to cancel out harmful noises, the RangeGuard is able to pick up and amplify the welcome voices of those speaking to you. This helps to preserve the inherently social aspect of shooting, and won’t leave your friends yelling at you while you’re trying to deal with clips and mags.
These earmuffs have a low profile cup design which enables you to naturally wield a rifle or shotgun while wearing them. They’re a comfortable piece of equipment, with a padded headband that you may adjust however you see fit. They additionally feature a 3.5mm audio jack so you can use a walkie talkie or listen to your favorite tunes while you’re shooting (we recommend Wagner’s Ride Of The Valkyries), and they will automatically turn off after four hours of use so as to not let their two AAA batteries drain out. -
Howard Leight Impact Sport Electronic Earmuffs - Black - 22 NRR - 1 Set
$49.85Manufacturer Howard Leight Product Type Eye Ear Protection Manufacturer SKU R-02524 Quantity 1 UPC Barcode 33552025245 Even without the two AAA batteries they need to turn on, the Impact Sport earmuffs by Howard Leight provide great hearing protection with their 22 decibel (dB) noise reduction rating (NRR).

The earmuffs’ built-in headphones are compatible with other audio devices including radios and MP3 players.
This is a comfortable solution for hearing protection, as its padded headband telescopes to create a secure fit and its earcups are soft. The low-profile earmuffs won’t interfere with the stock of a rifle or shotgun, and they fold up for convenient transport. Don’t worry about wasting batteries – these electronic earmuffs will automatically turn off after four hours of continuous use! -

$49.85Manufacturer Howard Leight Product Type Eye Ear Protection Manufacturer SKU R-01526 Quantity 1 UPC Barcode 33552015260 Howard Leight's Impact Sport electronic earmuffs are a huge improvement over conventional designs in multiple ways: their slim form factor helps reduce the issues many shooters have clearing the stock of long guns against the cups of their hearing protection devices. In-ear earplugs can be worn under these muffs for additional protection if needed.
The active noise reduction of these earmuffs promises a noise reduction rating of 22, keeping the sounds of your firearm and those of nearby shooters to a safe level. At the same time, the device actually amplifies certain sounds such as human voices--a huge social and safety benefit, as you'll finally be able to hear your shooting buddies and the range officer over muzzle blasts. For those who shoot alone, these earmuffs include an audio jack that can connect to your phone or MP3 player.
This headset is powered by two AAA batteries, with the first set included in the package. The battery compartment is external and easy to reach, though you won't need to worry about accidentally draining the batteries quickly thanks to the automatic shutoff feature.

Good "ears" for the price
-
I have two pairs of these. I like the way they fold up and they seal tight. There is ear protection with higher NRRs but these are fine for a handgun, shotgun, and most rifle shooting. When the batteries start to get low they develop a low hum but they still work. These are by far the most popular ears seen on our range and at Widener's $39.95 sale price they are a bargain.

Could be quieter
-
Comfortable and allows for a solid cheek weld but not quiet enough for me, esp when shooting w magnums or muzzle brakes nearby. You should use these w soft earplugs.
