I also have a barrel that I got about a year ago that is on that list. Mine is a Stainless barrel. What you will look for is if the threads for the nipple look like they are cut into the metal or if it looks like a spring was pushed into the hole. The later is called a helicoil. What they did was replace the breach plug on those barrels that had the helicoil. My barrel has a blued breech plug. Mine was fixed before it left the factory. I am betting your was too. Look to see if it has the coils. Ron

I would imagine they would have corrected the problem before the barrel was sent to me, wouldn't you?
