I wouldn't stand it next to a furnace or leave it in the path of a steamroller. However i reckon it could handle being dropped or knocked, i reckon it would even handle a dog bite. Saws, drills and blowtorches are probably more than a match for it.

To be honest i do not know, mine is a range queen and gets treated accordingly. My better half is constantly complaining that i use to many of my children's baby wipes cleaning the rifle.

One thing i do know though is that i had a veal cutlet that was so rare it got off the plate and started attacking my coffee and the coffee wasn't strong enough to defend itself.

Depends who made it. There's probably some cheap stuff out there but aside from that they should be fine. Work fine on handguns

I wouldn't be playing optic swap games with it regularly, or getting gorilla fisted in tightening things down, but for a semi-permanent optics or sight mounting it'll last pretty much indefinitely.

If you're talking about the accessory rail, who cares? Those are cheap and replaceable.

Mine is used to play dress up. Swap out optics, grips, lights and bipods. It held up really well to the use. It is used in 3 gun matches all the time, including being dumped in dump drums for transitions. Hold up well.
