M1961 Cartridge Belt

FSN
8465-823-6937 (size: Medium)
Specification
MIL-B-82100

The cotton M1961 belt expanded upon the M1936 design with a snap fastener between each of the middle row eyelets. Though the fasteners could technically be used to affix older generation Carbine or .45 ammunition pouches, they were designed to attach M1961 model M14 magazine pockets. The M1961 belt was typically worn in conjunction with the Marine Corps M1941 suspenders and pack system.
