<< How big of a jolt does it take to knock the Leica rangefinder out of
 alignment? Dop they just go out with time and normal usage?  I'm just
 curious how careful I need to be with it. I've already knocked it
 around a bit, things like accidentally bumping it on walls while it's
 on my shoulder, etc..I don't notice anything abnormal when I look in
 the viewfinder as of yet and I want to keep it that way..

Yeah . you say your viewfinder is very clear and nothing is abnormal .
Maybe there isn't anymore glass , maybe you're just looking through
a square hole !
Keep on knocking man . I have a 16 years old M6 that was knocked
more than once and quite hard . Although I try not to knock it anyway , 
mine's still adjusted but presents many " knocks " on the metal parts .
I'ts so cool to carry a camera that you don't care about ; Just like an 
old Chevy with a burnt paint but with a new motor !
