Background: see this thread about the difference between a Phantom bolt and the Redux bolt.

When I had my Redux apart the the other day, I noticed a bevel at the front of the breech in the snub.

Ahead of the breech bevel is a "lip" which keeps the Freak insert in.

SO!

• The Freak insert doesn't touch the bolt, bolt o-ring aside.
• The lip in the snub ahead of the breech retains the Freak insert.
• The breech bevel matches the milled bolt.

If the snub breech bevel were milled slightly to match a standard Phantom bolt, unmodified Phantom bolts would work; there'd be no need to turn down the bevel on a Phantom bolt to match the Redux.

Mongo: is there a reason the bevel in the Redux breech is the angle it is, head-MF-duck-in-charge?

Breech, no Freak insert:


Breech, Freak insert with a small gap:


Breech, Freak insert fully inserted to the lip:


The bevel is just rearward of the "lip" that holds the Freak insert in. Not easy to identify in the photo but if you own a Redux, you'll see it.

I would need to see pics, but it sounds kinda similar to how Carter Barrels are, except the bevel is at the barrel back, rather than in the breech.
