When you consider that soft solder melts at about 360F and the silver braze is probably 800-1000F higher melting temp, and the fact that the little stub rib between the underlug (lump) and the forend lug is soft soldered, you can see the rib needs to be removed.

What's this gun worth if not for this problem? Weigh that against the cost to fix and make your choice.
