How do I clean a 10 pocket belt

[ralfus]

Ralfus,

When on active duty we used a scrub brush or tooth brush and tooth paste to clean webgear. However, on old webgear this may not be a good idea as it may cause excessive wear.

I think putting in a old pillow case and washing on a gentle cycle with some sort of mild soap may be the answer.

How are the Garands doing? The 40X still shoots great. Had it out to play a week ago.

Hey AJ,

I keep crossing paths with you on various forums. I had to thin the herd a while back and let those Garands go. One went to a very good home with a Garand newbie and it was just what he wanted. The other is in a family museum here in town as part of a tribute display to the current owners brothers who all served in WWII. He was the perfect example of a guy who had not touched a Garand since 1945 yet all these memories came to him when he held it. Im glad the 40X is getting used well. Do you still rave about those clear front inserts? I need to buy some.


Thanks for the tips folks. I'll be soaking it in Woolite and using a soft scrub brush, I'm glad about the tip to avoid direct sunlight while drying. The only markings remaining are "right" and "left" nothing else.

Ralfus,

The toothbrush is about the best. Also good to get into the small places.

Yes, I still prefer the clear plastic inserts for the sights. Have a couple of more converts here after seeing them. I believe I got those from Champion Shooter's Supply.

Is it the 50K S/N that is in the family museum? Was partial to that one always regret letting it go. Got both of those at the North Store.

I think it was the 50K.
