non issue for me...
I am not an operator, this is is not a battle rifle for me.
This is my primary hunting rifle... In a TEOTWAWKI situation I take a line from "We were Soldiers":

Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: Sir, if the time comes I need one, there'll be plenty lying on the ground.

I got into the AR platform to learn it for "when that time comes"

I had a couple of AKs, now I have an AR15 and now an AR on steroids. (M&P10)

If I break it today... I'll repair it
If I break it in those days, I'll drop it
