Gentlemen, I need an advice. I decided to buy a TAP 50/53 belt. Problem is that the holes are closer than on my previous belt, so I had to use pliers to adjust the wire hangers. It was quite normal on some of my other webbings, but I'm a little nervous now, because I could not find any information if this was normal on TAP webbings. Can you, pleasw, give me any advice? Or is the belt fake?  |

can you mesure the distance between the holes?
However from the photo the belt seems legit.... but some closeups could be helpfull as well...

Of course, here it is. The buckle is also farther from the snap, almost all belts I've has it a lot closer, so I don't know if it should be like this   |

belt looks like it has gotten soaked at some point...perhaps it was stretched a bit?

Holes are closer than they should be, so it shrinked at some point...or I don't know

Really? Then I'm okay with that, I was afraid that this belt is a fake. Thank you very much, gentlemen.

I'm not aware of anybody faking those belts, especially when surplus originals are easily available. I'd use that with confidence.

I have one and I had the same problem. It also lacked a snap but I have 100% confidence in the person I got it from as far as it being original.

I realize this is a late comment to this thread but I had a WWII .45 auto magazine pouch shrink when I washed it. I have the belt, too, but I didn't wash it. I was able to get the pouch stretched back out so that a magazine would fit but it wasn't much cleaner after everything dried out. It had belonged to my late father-in-law and came with one magazine, the old type with a lanyard loop, and still loaded.
