Green Mountain Drop In Barrel Recall
Some of the GM drop in barrels had metric nipples installed:

Notice to Owners of our Black Powder "Drop-In" Barrels: There is a possibility that the nipple on your rifle is defective. Metric threaded nipples were inadvertently installed in some barrels instead of the proper 1/4-28 threaded nipples. The serial number range in question if for percussion barrels # 030672 - 031352. Do not fire this rifle. Please contact us at 603-447-1095 x18 or [email protected] to arrange return shipping. The barrels will be inspected and if found compliant returned. If they are discrepant the breach plugs will need to be replaced so bear with us as this may take a while to complete. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Well, those dummies would have to send the barrel back.
Last recall was because GM installed metric nipple holes. As a fix GM, drilled out the metric holes, put 1/4-28 Heli-Coils in, and installed the proper nipple. That did not fly because was folks did not want new barrels with Heli-Coils. As a result GM replaced a bunch of breech plugs.
