GG&G MAD Flip sight same as that being sold by ProMag?

[StarDust1]

I'm curious about a BUIS being offered by ProMag, it's part # is PM136 and it's a single plane dual aperture rear flip sight for the M16/M4 type rifle/carbines.
It seems to me that it's the exact same sight as the GG&G MAD single plane dual aperture rear flip BUIS, same except in price as the MAD is going from about $120.00 to $150.00 compared to $60.00 for the ProMag Packaged version...
Anyone know if these are indeed the same manufacture?

Does anyone know anything at all about this sight?

It appeared on Promag's website as if by magic.

I really doubt GGG would sell it to Promag at a discount. I suspect it is a copy, whether made by Promag or made in China and sold by Promag. But I'm only guessing.

I've been happy with the $30 UTG flipup. When mounted on the last rail lug it flips back toward the carry handle but doesn't interfere and leaves lots of room for the optic. I don't like the big honking locking knob but can't see paying double or more for a similar sight with a smaller one.

They are not exactly the same but they could be the same basic unit. The GG&G has three extra machined cuts and the Promag has a knurled head on the mounting screw instead of the allen head. I have the Promag sights and they are good quality.
The front flip up gas block mount sights are the same except for the knob versus allen head.
