1.  Measure your old belt:
     Lay a cartridge belt flat on a table.
     Then measure from the buckle bar (tongue lays against this when
        the belt is worn and buckled) to the other end of the belt to 
        whichever hole is most comfortable when the belt is worn.

2.  Tape Measure:
     Wrap a tape measure around your waist at the level you wish to
     wear your belt and pull snugly.

**REMEMBER**
YOUR WAIST SIZE IS NOT YOUR CARTRIDGE BELT SIZE

This is due to two factors:

• Cartridge belts may be worn at an angle
  or may be worn on the hips, not the waist
• Cartridge belts may be worn over other belts
  or articles of clothing

     Dave will make your belt to "size" at the second shortest hole in the billet.  This will allow the belt to "snug up" about 1" (with lighter clothing) and to "let out" about 4" (to fit over warmer clothing).

 TO INSURE THE BEST FIT MEASURE YOUR BELT SIZE
OVER THE CLOTHING
YOU WILL MOST OFTEN USE IT WITH
