not your average Chinese crap, its Chinese no doubt but the reason the 1-6 ACSS took so long to get out was because the QC is controlled here and it went back to the factory a few times because things weren't perfect .
So it is designed here, by PA's specs. Then they comb through the factories in China and employee one of the top factories if not the top.
They tour the factories meet the people and make agreements and expectations clear face to face....when the final product was finally approved by PA, they go through every shipment and open every box and inspect every scope before it becomes available to the consumer.
I have the micro reflex green dot. The first one I had the light sensing dimmer didn't work, sent it back and had a new one from Texas overnight. The second one did the same thing....Marshal the owner called me apologizing, said he took his personal sight off his weapon and sent it out and I could send back the other one whenever .....that sight still works like a charm to this day and I have been with PA ever since.
