Ok Just got a new Green Mountain barrel today. When I looked at the nipple I saw I had the helicoil in the bolster. Question, How big of a deal is this really? Yeah it stinks that a new product is substandard (is it?). However, I do not want to have to wait weeks or months for a replacement. Have not yet started to throw things. Is there a home fix? Why were the coils used in the first place? Hole drilled too big? What thread pitch is the helicoil installed in? Can I drill and tap to a 5/16 x 24 musket nipple?
