Another thought that occurred to me is battle damage. Anyone who has watched videos of guys digging up relics on European battlefields will see the horrendous effect of an artillery or mortar barrage on field equipment.
I have owned both an MP44 and a K98 with schrapnel damage. Not enough damage to render inoperable, but clear splinter damage none the less. I think many unexplainable repairs may be due to this.
