Actually the forearm lug was attached by a screw prior to silver brazing. Sturgess & Gortz have a nice X-ray pic of the frame showing the screw on a carbine compared to a 'regular' frame (pic below).

I had noticed a ground-off screw in the pic of Eric's carbine also (other pic).

I hope this doesn't mean you'll have to start all over...
