Green Mountain Drop-in BBL Recall

From GM's home page:

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.

This seems to be a current quote so it's not the old Green Mountain issue from several years ago.

Evidently, GM doesn't date their notices.

Here's the other notice, which lacked any specificty as to the reason why - but does have a different SN range than the other notice for possible problem barrels:

Green Mountain needs to do a precautionary recall on some of our Thompson Center drop-in barrels.
If you have a barrel in the following Serial Number range 026220-027303, please contact Kerry Smith at (603) 447-1095 x18 to make arrangements to have your barrel returned for inspection.
Thank you and we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
