Describe this belt please as a matter of curiousity.

I have a strip of disintegrating .303 belt that has black metal links. They resemble modern 7.62 link, but is clearly pull-out not push-through. I'd like to pin down what exactly it is.

Hi Terry: Send me an email at the address above and I'll forward you the photos plus I'll take some close up shots of the belt(s) and I'll email you those to you. The belt with the cartridges is canvas and has been torn at the 150 round length. I would have taken on a 250 round canvas belt but I just didn't feel like reloading a new belt. Politely spoken...it's a bitch! Robert

Likely for the Inglis .303 aircraft gun. It was basically a scaled down 50 cal, thinner than a GPMG although one or two parts would interchange.
