I do the same. The way I see it is; my ARs are tools, they are meant to be used hard to ensure they will work when I need one. They make more every day. If I break one, I can get replacement parts easy or build a new one.

With any mil-surp, what is made is it There's no more going to be made. If I destroy one, that takes one out of the worlds supply. To me they are functional pieces of history and should be treated as such.
