I was checking out the VM replacement parts on Numrich's and noticed they listed seperate part #'s for VM bolt and VM Tactical bolt. I'm only aware of the bolt machining improvement to keep the o-ring in place but I thought that was on all models. Can anyone tell what the differences are between the VM and the VMT's? FWIW: the tactical bolt was the least expensive of the two.

I found the quoted text below in searching, on another website. From that discussion, it appears the VM and VMT will not accept the same bolt handles. Can anyone confirm this is correct and the only difference in the bolts?


"I didn't notice it till it was brought up, but the bolt in my VM standard has a slot in it like my Benelli's and my VM Tactical has a round hole only. So the tactical model will only accept the straight peg type.

While I haven't seen a Briley's handle, I'm assuming it's patterned like Nordic's BFB, which fits my standard."
