Belt link colletion

Here a few pictures of my little belt link collection.

First 5,56x45 to 15,5x106
second 20x80,6 RR to 23x152 B
third 25x137 to 30x165
and last 30x170 to 37x155

I would be happy if other belt link collectors would also show their collection.

Thanks for posting. Not commonly collected but a great buyers Identification chart for a few smaller cartridges (<30MM) I have laying around. I have been thinking of sticking links on some pieces but they are hard to find.
 
Thank you for sharing your link collection with us, i have never seen such a good display before.

23 mm ZU-23 South African Drill rounds / belt

23 mm ZU-23 South African Drill rounds. Not sure of the belts origin. Think it may be South African.

Agree with others noting the IDing "charts" as you have posted. I haven't risen to that skill level with photoshopping. Thanks for the efforts in that.
As for "collection", I suppose you could say I have one. By default. As many times the acquired shells come in belts and it ain't like I'm going to throw the links away. On the other hand, I've also amassed things associated with belt/link loading. Which is a whole other thang.
So here's what's out in the open:

Slick,
Nice of you to display one of the rare water-cooled BMGs that feeds from the RIGHT side......
 
I know what I will be looking for from now on. Didn't know they came in various colors. Thanks.
