Regarding the tongue, I slide it inside the belt after buckling. A little awkward at first, but after taking it on and off a few times it becomes easy. By the way, that brown leather will turn burgundy with sweat staining. At least mine did.


Thanks. That sounds like the way to deal with the excess leather, and good to hear from a couple of people that it will loosen up.

You may want to take a look at the belts at Buffalo Arms. I wear one of the 10gauge shotshell belts for cowboy action shooting. They off both rifle and shotgun style. It has held up very well for 6 years, being used every weekend when there is no snow on the ground. Mine is canvas and it is much cooler than leather in the 95 degree heat.

Stick a little bit of electrical tape to your cases and leave them in for a week. Did the trick for mine. I also do this with holsters if they are a little too tight. Not much is needed just a single layer.
