Fox, thats assuming the scope was purged with nitrogen to begin with.

In my experience G&P does not purge their scopes with anything. The rear lense in my T1 was screwed in very loose when I got it. and I know for certain the flimsy rubber grommet found in their ACOG replica's can't keep water out so I doubt they could keep nitrogen in.

Not to mention; no where does G&P state that their scopes have any features whatsoever. In my experience if a product was made to be waterpoof, fogproof, or recoil resistant the company would want to advertise that... especially at the absurd prices G&P charges; yet they do not.

There are exceptions to the rule, where they make a product above average; and ones like in the case of their Elcan where they are far below whats expected.

You get what you pay for though, the G&P Elcan is pretty affordable compared to other companies replica's.
