Hi Gunner. My father speaks german and he translated that quite a while ago. There's another story behind all of that and its mostly "crying wolf" without solid reason unless you're a "federally licensed gunsmith" and need to make some Euros.
I'll see if I can get him to post here sometime. None of this is any more alarming than any other rifle of that vintage. It is definitely not a weak point in the rifle. Any rifle with lugs can experience the same thing, but how many have you ever heard about? For me its two. Two out of how many hundreds of thousands world wide?
You're right of course. As with any other rifle in the world, older well shot rifles should be watched more closely than a modern rifle, but even modern rifles sometimes have their problems.

If he's going to do anything at all, its should be Magna Fluxed, not xrayed, but I think its a waste of money.

"The trained eye of the federally licensed gunsmith can detect such defects." Politics and self promotion exists all over, including the Swiss Gunsmith's Association.
Your eye and my eye can detect the same things Gunner, but Magna Fluxing detects what the "trained eye of the federal licensed gunsmith" cannot.

Interesting stuff isn't it? Thanks for the translation. I do have one here that's put into correct english, but I'd have to type the whole thing.
Thanks again!
