I was thinking about buying some links if I can find somebody with a linking tool. I want to make some decor for my loading bench.

That's a bit of a drive, but I will definitely keep you in mind.  |

They just pop together. No machine should be needed. I would be interested in a hundred or so links if you find a big batch.

https://www.apexgunparts.com/1919a4-israeli-links-308.html also found some for 5.56: https://www.apexgunparts.com/m27-minimi-saw-m249-links-200ct-5-56nato-ex.html mcyclonegt wrote: They just pop together.

I don't need 200 of them :) I am going to order some for 5.56 too I think. |

It's been awhile, just kind of snap them together? I think they slid together and then there's a tab that clicks into the rim. |

Cool. thanks. I'm a bit ignorant regarding belted ammo. I just thought it would be cool to have a belt or two for "wall hanger" type stuff. :-)
