I wasn't sure whether to put this in the Rifle Forum or here but obviously I ended up here.

Anyway when I bought my 91/30 a couple weeks ago it came with 2 belt ammo packs (one had an oiler bottle in it) that were so stiff I never did get one of them to open. I assume this is due to age but...

I don't exactly know what they are made of but I think its some sort of heavy canvas like material. Anyone know how to soften them up?
