I don't think it's a "gig" at all. AP are a boutique manufacturer and simply can't churn out a uncompromised product any faster with half a dozen or so employees.

I have both the AP92 and 130GTX. Sure they weren't cheap, but if there is such a thing as a perfect optic, then likely it has an AP badge on the side.

There are simply no OOUK epic AND expensive failures from the AP factory...and that is precisely why demand far out-strips supply for their product.
