M53 or bust

>>33234397
I got an M14a2 tanker's gas mask for 40 bucks.

Lucky as fuck to have found it that cheap.

Doesn't look that bad opie. Wouldn't worry about it. The M17 is an aesthetic as fuck mask though. The military style two piece lense (M17, M40, etc) look way better imo even though shit like the M50 with a one piece lens are much more modular and easier to use.

>>33234369
Got any other pictures of the straps

>>33234397
I wish best I have is an M40 with 2 C2A1's and the butly skin and a K1.

Pics, it did happen.

Filter is disconnected for my health and safety. Despite coming from 'Nam, it is pretty much the most comfy gasmask I've had the pleasure of wearing. My only problem is that the filter will give me chromium poisoning and it fogs up like a motherfucker.

Why don't all gas masks have a side mounted filter? With a gas mask like the Finnish M61 you can get a perfect cheek weld.

>>33234516
Looks fine, OP

>>33234516
If the scratches are bothersome, you can pick up some replacement lenses on eBay for pretty cheap

>>33234748
Because sometimes a country does not have the budget to manufacture two different types of masks. Although I think with some places like Germany it's more of an issue of "this is how we've always done it".

Not all masks are bought to be used. I have masks from the 1920's that I use as research material.

>>33235422
lol nice meme. 3m cartridges can be used on nato masks with a cheap adapter, and you can drink inside military masks with the drinking tube. With your meme half face mask you have to expose yourself to drink.

if its for larping get the military mask so it looks better. If its for actual use get the military mask so you dont pass out from dehydration. No reason to get the retarded 3m meme mask

I found this cleaning out my grandpa's attic. There wasn't a filter, and it looks like maybe 1940 is printed on the side. Don't know much else other than that.

>>33235422
OP here, I got the M17 for collecting reasons. I don't have really any masks for SHTF reasons, though I've been thinking about getting an Israeli or German mask with NATO filters for that purpose

Congratulations, /k/. This thread encouraged me to get a MSA mask, sold with three filters, bag and chemical hood.

Did I do good for $45?

is it agreed that 40mm NATO filters are the easiest to find (in working condition obv)

>>33243303
goddamned, that's a good urban civ operator look.. I'm tempted to steal that look

>>33245125
NATO is pretty fucking big. Israeli filters are all over the place for decent amounts. If you know what you are looking for, you should have no problem finding them in groups of 5 or so still in the seal.

>>33245109
yet to receive it, just ordered it tonight.

Look up MSA 5073 if you want to see one.

What are some budget friendly options for masks. Nuke and bio isn't a concern as I don't have a full body suit.

classic GP-5 will do ya good then. found mine for 10$

>>33245276
Pretty much this. If you keep lurking you can get really lucky. Go to your local milsurp store and see what they have.

Mine bought a fuckton of US stuff when it went out of service, and has been selling them from the same lot since 2000 at the same price too. You get lucky some times.

>>33234369
aren't most gas masks poisonous to breath through after a few years because the filters go bad or something?

>>33245388
Some old filters (like really fucking old) contain asbestos or chromium in them, which will fucking kill you, painfully, over time.

All others are carbon, which usually holds up pretty well. The issue comes with damage to the filter. If the paper barrier between the carbon block or dust gets damaged then you are now breathing in carbon, which will fuck you sideways.

As long as you know it is carbon and it looks good on the outside and where you can see in it and has no heavy residue or free dust on the filter caps or plugs, you should be just fine.

Fucking pleb.

Also, nice choice, OP.

>>33245169
Those masks are $350+ out of the factory, you lucky bastard. I got mine for sixty from ebay still int he factory box, but $45 is fucking insane.

>>33243676
Millenium has a lot of improvements, like being able to see. It's definitely worth the buy if you can find one that's not super expensive.

>>33245169
Actually, you might have gotten an old one where the face plate is gross and yellow. They work fine, but it does heavily reduce visibility in some cases. I recommend the black reflective outsert, because it's badass.

>>33245465
Just about every surplus filter out there is carbon based.
The only way to be exposed to the chromium and asbestos is physical damage to the filter letting the carbon leak.

>>33245538
Yeah, it is yellowed. Too bad replacement costs about as much as the mask.

This is the only mask I've found that gets a good seal with glasses. It's some eastern countries mask designed to be used with head wounds on casualties.

>>33245654
Nice helmet.

I've been trying to get an adapter for that coms system forever now.

>>33245665
Im trying to do the same thing, but it's looking like I'm going to have to retrofit a pair of store bought headphones into it unfortunately.

>>33245956
From what I've been able to guess at and theorize, is that, with the help of a function generator and an oscilloscope, you could probe each of components on the Jack to find out which one operates the mic and which are for each ear piece, then solder leads off of each and adapt it to 3.5mm or whatever your choice is.

But I can into electronics, and love to over-engineer the fuck out of shit. There is probably a simpler way, like get the plug for it and splice it off from there.

>Danker than an anchor

Anchors aren't dank. Anchoring is the worst fucking part about working aboard a ship. Loud, dangerous, dirty, and a pain in the ass. Also probably the second most common shipboard fuckup after running aground. A few years ago a boat lost propulsion in the St. Claire river and had to drop her anchors to slow down. Lost both her bower anchors and the stern anchor because the crew was fuckin retarded and didn't put the brake on

I had a good chuckle at it when I heard about it too. Ripped the deck plates right off the fuckin ship. And if I remember correctly they couldn't find one of the anchors. So somewhere in the St. Claire river there's a huge fuckin anchor with about 1000 foot of chain and the forecastle of a ship laying around

The GP-5's associated filters have been reported to contain both blue and white asbestos, so be careful. If you plan on using it, the filters for the GP-7 are safe and look similar to those of the GP-5. Otherwise, a modern 40mm NATO will work just fine.

>>33246462

An OD gp-4 would be most similar. Just remove the hose and connect the filter directly.

How does one prevent the panoramic visors from fogging up? I'd rather not have anti-fog chemicals inside something I breath through.

>>33255551
just take it off and let it air out

>>33255689
is there any long term solution?

>>33255719
you could cut a hole in it so the air vents

>>33255735
that seems counter productive for a gas mask, even if I never use it, it seems wrong to mutilate it to larp in my livingroom or other times to cheeki my breeki

>>33255551
I don't have a problem with fogging, myself.

>>33255845
I think the inner face cup/inner mask bit is deformed in some way that allows air to get by.

>>33255876
It should allow air to be pulled out when you exhale/pull it into the mask when you inhale.

>>33255845
same, I have worn mine for 3-4 hours without any fogging

The oralnasal cup has valves in it that pull air over the lens when you inhale

>>33256690
I think there is an issue with that valve or the seal it puts on my face. Whenever I exhale, warm air is pushed back onto the lens.
