You can't mount the Magpul MBUS to a railed gas block. They will melt. From Magpul's site: NOTE: Cannot be mounted to a railed gas block due to excess heat issues.
Front MBUS must be mounted to a railed fore end on the same plane as the receiver rail. Because of this the sight is also not compatible with MOE Hand Guards.

I believe somebody (YHM?) makes a sight for the front gas block. But yeah, Magpul wont work as it'll be too short and will melt.
