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.

Wouldn't it be easier to just use a metric nipple?

No. Looks like someone cross threaded some metric nipples into 1/4-28 threaded holes.

I THINK this is a very old recall notice. I remember reading this several years ago. Maybe as far back as 2003.

Unless it has happened again...

Serial Number range 026220-02730 are also effected but i didnt not see a date of manufacture listed. I do remember it from several years ago though.

Well, those dummies would have to send the barrel back.

Someone at GM put the metric nipples in 1/4-28 holes.

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.

Oh ok. That doesn't say much for the GM employees. Hopefully they don't work there anymore.

Probably done by temporary help. No one wants to give anyone a full time job anymore... when they get backed up they call Temp agencies and tell them to send in some people. Many are good workers but just as many don't care because they know they're not gonna get hired so they just don't give a sheeut! I've seen it happen in several plants I was a machinist at.
