In 1980, a vender at an OGCA show had brand new 30 cal. cloth belts for $4 each.
When you buy loose links for a Browning MG, be careful the 303 British link is very hard to tell for a 30-06 link. A couple million rounds of Iraqi 303 was sold belted as surplus. I bought several hundred rounds and pulled the ammo. Of course, if you have a British 30 1919 you will need the correct link! (How do you tell Iraqi Ammo? The headstamp look like Greek letters, Greek ammo uses our type of numbers!)
