These flip up rear sights originally sold for around $150 before they were replaced with a new design. Random eBay seller has 26 of these available for $18 with free shipping (he'll take $15 each if you use Best Offer and buy multiple - ETA: I know this because I bought some from him, not because I'm the seller
 ).
https://www.ebay.com/itm/IMI-Gen-2-Metal-Folding-Rear-Sight/253961170313 
IMI Defense is an Israeli company that has specialized in the production of high-quality holsters and other accessories for firearms.

This FlipUp Sight is built for the extreme demands of a combat situation and executed extremely solid. Some details are for example: - Fixed locking in both positions - Adjusting wheel on both sides - 135 ° double reticle - low design - MilSpec standard - MilSpec hard anodization

Says they got them from PSA and they aren't stamped IMI. Looks real suspicious.

If they were mine, I'd be selling them for a hell of a lot more than $15 shipped when eBay fees are 10%, PayPal fees are 3.5%, bubble envelopes are $1 each, a roll of packaging tape is $4, gas is $2.50/gal, and shipping is around $5. That's not worth my time to pack them up and drive to the post office. Even if I originally got them for free. |

First I miss out on the Ohio National Guard 870s trenchguns...
Now the $15 IMI Rear BUIS... I've got to tell the Boss he can't station me away from my computer, as I may miss out on another great ARFCOM deal... |

Mine showed up in the mail this morning.
It looks exactly as pictured, with the exception of the "R" and arrow marks next to the windage adjustment do not stand out as much as the one pictured. They are there just don't look as deep as the picture in the OP. It weights in at 63grams on my kitchen scale. The threaded side of the mount is made of steel or some kind of ferrous metal. |

I'm pretty sure I put an airsoft carry handle on a DPMS flat top. It seems to work just fine, some of the imitations are good enough it's not worth worrying about for a plinker, if it works it works.

Mine came today and it is a very solid sight.Whether folding the sights up/down or rotating the dual aperture the detents have a very solid lockup.For what it's worth it came in a small plastic bag marked "IMI GEN2 Aluminum Folding Rear Sight".Whether it is a knock off or a contract overrun from IMI it's a very solid well made sight.I wish I had been brave enough to buy more than just one.
