Unbelting

Before

After

Guess what I did while drinking my coffee this morning?  By the way, when you try to take 60 year old ammunition out of its cloth belt, make sure you have good callouses on your thumbs, your hands are absolutely dry, and don't make any plans.

By the way, if anyone has an M1919 and needs a couple extra ammo belts, drop me a line. I don't have any use for them.  The bullets, on the other hand, will be put to good use.
