If I used 1000 links, would it be reasonable to expect I would link:
a) 500 Rounds
b) 999 Rounds
c) 454 Rounds
d) 1000 Rounds
a) 500 Rounds
b) 999 Rounds
c) 454 Rounds
d) 1000 Rounds

But you could link either [A], , [C], or [D].... Theoretically.
I bought 1000 links on the auction side and got them today. I just linked 250 rounds 30-06 and there are only 250 links left in the box.
Just wanted to make sure I wasn't nuts before sending this guy an email.
Edit: Better start counting pieces, as you didn't get a full thousand links
1000 links would connect 1001 bullets.
thats what I thought too, one link would link 2 shells, then on from there.......

2 links for the first round, +1 after that is 999, you can put a round in the last hole, but it's not likely going to stay unless you use the starter tab.
I am short, no doubt about it.
Or is that why you can only link 1001?
Now I would assume it's obvious that larger caliber guns may have endless belts. 50 cal wing guns, 8mm wing guns, minigun usually has a 100K round belt (I still need one of these for my collection).
I am actually linking mine into 50 round belts as to help keep the trigger finger from locking up and breaking my *.
My point to ask was I loaded 250 rounds and I used 50% of the links, and I knew there was no way I was going to get 1000 rounds linked last night.
ANM2 is the fastest cycle rate 30-06 in the world at 1150 round a min. (aircraft gun)
The 1917 is water cooled, so the 50 round belts will give time to fill the water tube.
The 1919a4 will eat 250 round belts out of the can like there is no tomorrow.
The Browning BAR will chug along quite nice with 100 rounders.

Umm negatory red rider.
@ 999, you will have a 1/2 link hanging out on each end (assuming 1K links). To link 1000 rounds w/1000 links, you need to slip #1000 into both of the end 1/2 links forming a endless belt

I just recounted the links and bagged them, there are 253 links. So I have no doubt a box of links was 500 not 1000.
They were very good about it, and a little surprised as the supplier was selling to them as 1K per box and I went back and they had 10 auctions that closed. That's gonna hurt a little. Hope the supplier picks up the slack.
Are they natural or synthetic links?
natural, raw steel

Jokes just aren't funny if you have to explain them.
I assumed you meant the metal links vs the plastic links used by other countries.
haha at me I suppose...
