I was looking over my web gear and noticed I have fraying near some of the eyelets on my cartridge belt (appears to be where my bayonet and scabbard is hooked onto). I have the JQMD version from At the Front. Has anyone had this issue with other cartridge belts and should I be worried about them ripping out in the near future?

Chief, what do you think?

Depends on just how bad the fraying is. If it just a couple of places, keep using it until it becomes unusable. Cleaning web gear after using it in the field, especially tacticals where it is most likely to get dirty, will help prolong the service life of gear and uniforms. Weapons should also be cleaned and lubricate after each use.

It's not unusual for them to fray like that. The JQMD models are the low end quality but for reenactment they serve their purpose.
On the flip side we rarely wear them especially in a field environment so it should hold up.
At the Front has good customer service so that's a last resort as well.
