Thanks Josh.
I would like to rephrase the question.
Will there ever be a time after so many charges, that the latch will wear down the area where it contacts the upper receiver and eventually just "slip"
Ive noticed on my rifle the anodized finish has striped off, thats what made me wonder.

Not during your lifetime.  If it does, you have a defective lower.

The finish will wear off, but it seems to stop at that. No worries.
