Why am I finding throw lever mounts on EBAY for a fraction of the cost of any other throw lever mount?  They appear to be the same thing made out of the same material  130.00 vs. 10.00

For $10?  Who cares, try it out.

For $10, ya can't lose. The high zoot ones may be machined to ever so slightly more precise tolerances and possibly a better alloy. However, unless you're expecting to go into battle with it, you're unlikely to ever notice the difference. In fact, you could put a Tacpoint on it, too. Except for water resistance and maybe a skosh stronger tube in terms of dropping it, it's virtually the same. Hey, try 'em. They work well for lotsa guys who don't have the disposable income to get the bling.

I bought a knock off Aimpoint mount awhile back, I could not tell a difference.

Did it look like this?

Softer metal, holes misaligned, sloppy - loose threads. Do it if you think that's ok, but I'll never recommend them until they have an NSN number.
