Difference between Stevens 66 bolt and 66B bolt?

[rocktot]

I am looking for a complete bolt for a Stevens 66B, and found one for a 66, but I've read they are probably different. Anyone know for sure?

Anyone have a complete Stevens 66B bolt for sale?

They are in fact distinctly different. I had been through this in the past and while I remember them being very different, what I don't remember is whether or not they are compatible as an interchange.

The 66 bolt can be broken down into body, handle, etc... where the 66B is a bolt body unit. If you look at the Numrich schematic drawings you get an idea.

I have a 66B and I am VERY happy it seems to work just fine. Finding parts or even any info on them is near to impossible.
