Vickers Dunlop 303 belt prices?


Recommended Posts

A very large quantity of .303 Aussi belts were imported into the US in the middle 1980s or thereabouts if I recall correctly. They were new and had been dipped into what appeared to me to be an anti-fungal copper sulphate solution which turned them green. These belts were quite stiff and difficult to load by hand but the new made plate loaders that became available for Vickers belts eliminated that issue. There is no way to soften them due to the treatment although shooters who have used them helped to make them esier to load by hand.

There are many untreated .303 Aussi, Brit Vickers belts in the US and prices seem to be in the $150 and up range with pretty wide variations in asking prices.
Always insist that the belts be free of any and all damage and confirm before buying. FWIW
