Are the buckles US made of 4340 steel, tempered to RC 38-42 or import pot metal?

I really don't know. But I have been using this brand since OIF 1 and it hasn't failed me yet. I only bought this because my belly just couldn't get any bigger and I had to get a larger size belt (sit ups and cardio wasn't working for me). I'm sure if you contact Spec-Ops they'll be more than happy to answer your question. Please keep us updated when you have the answer.

I honestly do not know that answer. But what I can tell is I only use these 5:11 belts. I use them on a regular basis and they haven't failed me yet. I am have been wearing one of these belts for about 5 years already without a problem

Made in the US. As to where the steel is sourced from, also very likely US.

It is imported, I am not positive where from but is of extremely high quality materials. Had mine for over a year now with no problems at all with it. Very heavy steel, high quality finish, excellent controller. Don't be afraid of buying one of these.

Unfortunately it is not made in the USA. As much as I prefer to buy USA sometimes I stray when I see real quality at a price that is really better. I have purchased GearWrench products in the past and it is very high quality construction. No mystery metal here.

The only wording stamped into the metal is "norpro 18/10". Nothing about where it was made. I don't remember what the packaging said. Excellent quality though.

In the product description it says, "Made from type 430, 16 ga. stainless steel, these bars are twice as thick and will give you many years of reliable service."

The buckles are nickle colored, probably and alloy. There is a cloth lining, the inside of the outer flap is suede.

There is an internal label with the following description: - Leather 44% - PU 16% - PULP 20% - METAL 11% - NYLON 3% - OTHER 6%. (MADE IN CHINA) The quality is good.

I don't know where they are manufactured. They are a very well made knob. They are made of a heavy metal. Would recommend these to even the hard to please person.

I am not absolutely positive, but from the looks of them I believe they are copper plated steel. Usually solid copper is too soft, so ours would show some wear since they have been used several times, but they look like new.

I do not know that answer, but I can tell you that I wasted $8 on this piece of junk. It appeared to have metric threads on the threaded side, and broke when I attempted to back the SAE bolt I had used out. The piece appeared to be brass painted Potmetal, so I would guess not of USA origin.

The buckles are a shiny stainless steel. The bag is lined with nylon except for the top flap, which has a suede-like lining. There is a zipper compartment in the middle of the bag but it is not padded. I carry my laptop in a sleeve I already owned.

I don't think it is 420 HC. If I can remember right, I believe it's 12C27 steel.

Been too long since I bought these to remember if the package was marked with country of origin. But I will say they are of high quality steel and held up well to the abuse I gave them and are still going strong.

I can't speak definitively to either question. I have had the collar for two years now and there are no signs of rust. I doubt it is stainless - more likely chrome plated steel. I don't think the MM size is as important as learning how to use the collar. There are YouTube videos that show, for example, how never to actually pull on the collar. Remember the links are removable to adjust the neck size. At 48 pounds - this seems like a reasonable inflection point in dog size to go for the larger size.

The waist buckle is plastic. The leg buckles are powder coated metal. Leg buckles are quiet and easy to clip and release. This had been my favorite harness to use thus far.
