Default RE: Green Mountain IBS recall

ORIGINAL: Triple Se7en

I also saw that posted last night on their website looking for new barrel offerings by GM. My 58 is also affected by the recall. I have #026240. I'd hate to lose that barrel. It's such a sweet shooter with conicals, balls and minies even beyond 100 yards. All slip-fit too!... I'm bummed about that. Hopefully it's something minor that can be fixed without pulling off my scope mount & sending it back to get it fixed or replaced.
I already contacted them. I have 2 barrels that are being recalled, a .58 and a .50. I was told there were some nipple threads that were threaded slightly oversized so it apparently only affects percussion barrels and the fix would be to install a new breech plug. GM will send out a pickup tag from UPS and pick up the barrel. I was told they are doing the inspection, fix if needed and shipping back out with a 1-2 day turn around.
