It's ridiculous for these companies to rip people off with their piss poor engineering. If it was a chinese clone..then fine..but it's freaken G&P!
Oh I totally get the point. But here's the problem: Clone or not, "high end" or not, these companies are still cloning real gear.

The airsoft equivalent will never be close to as good as the real thing.

I know you know that. I also agree that G&P should have rail mounts which don't wobble... It's crap like this which pushed me to buy real accessories for my rifles/pistols. "High end" airsoft is still super shit compared to real deal.

The reasoning behind G&P selling crap externals? Collectors who pay tonnes of money for PR and Marketing, and I don't mean you, I mean people who don't speak up about it.

There is also a massive selection of people who think crap is "ok" quality, until they actually get shown the difference, and often the difference in cost between the two is a laughably small percentage ($50 +$50 shipped to your door for a "CQB" (LMT) rear sight by G&P, vs $70+$50 shipped to your door for a Daniel Defense A1.5 rear sight.) Granted there is often the problem of ITAR if ordering from the manufacture or other distributors in the USA, but you can buy a lot of it in country.
