WTB: Bianchi B7 cartridge belt for 44-45 LC cartridges. 41" to 42" center hole sized. Tan with no tears or alterations. Must be in excellent condition with all cartridge loops intact.

I have a Bianchi belt or two sitting around the basement. I'll have to check after work and see if I have that one.

I have almost what you're looking for. Tan colored Bianchi B7 belt with 44/45 caliber loops, labeled B740.

But...

1. It's an inch or two large, 43 inches from center bar of buckle to center hole. And there's no room to use a smaller hole even if you punched one, but you could move the billet if you're any good at that sort of thing.

2. There's a little whitish discoloration where a right-hand holster would go. Not egregious but it's there.

3. The majority of the thimbles/cartridge loops (all of the darker-colored ones) have a bunch of verdigris in them from a previous owner storing cartridges there. I haven't tried to clean it out. But all 24 loops are intact.

I do have the Chicago screw that holds the buckle on, but I took it out at some point to clean the verdigris out of it. Right now it's upstairs where my wife is hosting a women's Bible study, so it's not in the picture.

If you want the belt, it's $50 plus $10 shipping. I'm pretty flexible on payment methods.

Damn. Thats what I'm looking for, but it I'm afraid it will be far too large. I appreciate the effort. Thanks for trying.

No problem. Best of luck in your search!

My Good Cross

You migt consider moving the strap side or the buckle side to fit! It is seriously easy and after cutting it loose with a razor, one can fasten it back with some chicgo screws! Done this myself and it works just dandy.

Great price , btw H.T. jim!

There's another solution to a too-big belt, but it requires a little time and some new trousers.

Delete! Found one on ebay.

I had an older B7 belt from years ago. I saw the one on ebay and it was marked 38 but in the vender posted pics with a tape measure the center hole measured 42". I compared mine, which is a 34"belt and the center hole measured 38". Remembering back when Bianchi sold direct from their factory in Temecula, they asked for your waist size. They added 4" to your waist measurement for the gun belt. Makers don't do this now. They ask for an exact measurement where you'll wear the belt. Anyway, it all worked out.
