Anyone here into firearms?

I always have questions and would like your opinion

I bought an AR-15 from CMMG in 6.8 spc. Do you believe this is a viable cartridge or will it die off?

I bought a Mil Spec .45 from Springfield Armory a few years ago. It is parkerized which I was told was almost as good as stainless. But it scratches so easy I wonder how the fiinish can hold up and I am very easy and careful with my toys. Is this normal for parkerized finishes to scratch so easily?

I also noted the .45 was made by Imbel in Brazil. Do you know if there have been any problems with the Imbel made .45s? I thought I was buying an American made product.

Thanks for your help
