Civil War muskets laugh at your post.

The metal finishes today are really good, you are not shooting black powder, it doesn't have a wooden stock that can trap moisture and you are not fighting a war.

If you use the gun like a normal person, it will last 200 years, maybe more.

Yes, some springs will eventually break, that is wear and tear.
