Yugoslavian M53 Ammunition Belt

10/10 awesome product. Had some 50+ year old 8mm Mauser ammo that wasn't going to fire bought this belt for decoration looks great and if I ever get the M53 I'll be buy a few more belts!

Unfortunately, I do not own a M53 or MG42 so I can't attest to how these things work for live fire purposes. I bought this ammo belt to sew onto a pistol belt so I could wear a band of bullets around my waist like Rambo or some African warlord. I stitched this thing onto an old Belgian pistol belt made out of the cotton webbing (easier to stitch than thick nylon) and used a set of old USGI M-1956 webbing "H Style" suspenders to hold the rig up. Then I filled it up with 50 rounds of brass 7.62 NATO. Looks awesome. Now I just need some child soldiers and a diamond mine to "expropriate". Belt was rust free. Only gave it 4 stars because one of the half clamps on a link that holds the round in place was missing, but it still held it in place regardless.
