Saw this ingenious aftermarket item in Dolfs Vickers book / it’s a plate that goes on the .50 cal belt loader.
Anyone have one?
also- looking for any Tabbed Vickers .303 belts.
thanks
Bill

I think Toolmanm203 has spare tabbed Vickers belts

I wish you had asked me the last time we talked Bill I sold them all. I might have one of those linkers but give me a week to dig.

I made one out of a 50 cal loader. Super easy to do. I used roll pins, wish I would have used dowels.

I sold 20 belts it Feb, I can dig for more but think I’m pretty low.

btw I have a couple of the original loaders, they truly suck. Besides being original and collectibility the plate loader is only way to go. Numrich has them cheap.

Could you send a pic of how you modified the 50 loader? Sounds like you didn’t put a plate on it per se. and thanks for looking for a belt. Bill

I put an 1/8” piece of steel on top of loader.
Then drilled through it with a mill.

Hole distance is easy to figure out left to right and where the pins go.

You have a MG or semi?

Thanks for the referral. Still making them. With the political climate being what it is deliveries are running 3-4 weeks. Currently working on a couple of new plates for the MG42 and the SG43 as well as a bunch of the plates we already make. Also have a M7 substitute in he works. The material is here for that project but haven't had the mill free to proceed.

Thaks for the referal. Still making them. With the political climate being what it is deliveries are 3-4 weeks. Also working on 2 new plates, Mg42 and SG43 as well as a M7 replacement since the M7 supply is drying up.
