old tanker-- Great video on the different types of belts. I wonder of the German DM1 metal belts would work if the belt was fitted backwards to the cartridges. The spacing appears to be about the same and not as close as the Browning MG. Has anyone tried this?
I do not know. Metal Maxim belts, like for the PM 1910 work fine. Conversions to the Vickers to shoot 7.62x54R are one answer to a shortage of good surplus .303.
