How far did repairs go

[Fazer]

Not sure if this is the right section, but it will do.

We all know that lugers and other martial arms were just that, when they were in service. No one worried about collectability and weather the extractor matched. Just make it work.

That being said, how far did field armoures go, making repairs on firearms.

Was there another station further back down the line to make repairs when field repairers weren't able.

How far gone did a piece have to be, before it was just considered scrap.

I am sure it depends on how you are traveling in the war and such and avalibility of spares. Were arms repaired more in the first as oppesed to the second war.

I realise there is a lot of guess work in this.
