    Re: Cartridge Box on Belt or Sling?

    I wear mine both ways depending on my impression. I have also felt the difference between the weights of one the is full and one that is not. We also have to think about how some people wear their belts. Waist v. hips. So many people now days wear them lower and wearing a fully loaded box here would be just a bit uncomfortable. Up higher gives more support.

      Dan, Cody,

      I apologize, I did indeed "put it the wrong way"........I should have said "finished leather".....

        No harm, I was just wondering if you had become privy to some info that I had not found. Visit the FGLHA boards for more info on the Trans-Miss.

        They aren't very active anymore, but you can read up on the old threads.

        Wanted.

        All ladies in Houston and surrounding counties who have cloth on hand, which they can spare, are requested to donate it to the ladies of Crockett for the purpose of making petticoats for the Minute Men of this county, who have "backed out" of the service. We think the petticoat more suitable for them in these times.
