The forearm lever on my repro does not stay seated after a few rounds and starts to open outward. Forearm stays on but the lever comes out about a 1/16th of an inch at most. Caught my glove on it and gun came apart with ejectors set etc and had to finesse it back together. I had the good fortune to speak with a SxS gunsmith in Woodstock Vt. Who said it was a common problem with the forearem lug being angled needing adjustment and no problem to fix- no soldering etc. the problem does result in forearms coming off when the gun is fired on some guns. I was relieved and will drop my gun off to him this week
Good luck
