While some guns are definitely made better than others, abuse will wear one out faster. With that said, I have seen many old, battered and loose Citoris, Winchester 101s, and SKB guns that continued to go bang, even though they looked and felt liked the had lived in someone's car trunk and were fed only high brass ammo. The same can be said about many American doubles. In comparison, the cheap Turkish and Brazilian guns that are sold for less than $1000 at most big box stores often seem to fall pieces or become internally damaged before they hit one-thousand rounds.
