Now now. Be nice to the younglings.
To quote Sinister, one of the esteemed SME's on this very subject:
Your concern about the durability and serviceability of your gear is natural -- you don't want to think you got screwed or made a poor choice. Get over it.

Shoot the damn gun until the parts fail, then replace them. Just like any other military weapon or machine. You'll get better feedback than wondering if it would be nicer with Colt, Gucci, or Versace engraved on it.
Damn near every gun I own is now a Frankengun. It may have a certain manufacturer's name stamped on the side, but the internals and components are no longer original. I don't own any guns that should be behind glass at the Smithsonian. It may be a character flaw but I'd rather wear them out than let them rust away. They do me no good in the back of the safe.
No machine is perfect. No machine lasts forever. You should see what our guys do to their issued weapons as soon as they come out of the box, plastic wrapper, and vapor barrier paper.

You should see the raised eyebrows when folks see the SGW - Olympic Arms engraving on my lower. It just holds the parts.

Yes, I know. No, I won't tell you.
