    Gas masks

    With all this civil unrest going on, what is everyone using for gas masks preps? I'm trying to get a decent surplus M40 or M50 but it would seem that everyone else has had the same idea. Anyone have sources for one or another quality masks that takes NATO filters for around $200 or less?

    The other thing is that it needs to be large or XL. I have a big dome.

    Less than $200 is tough to get something modern that's not Israeli.

    If you want something to shoot with it needs to have an offset for the filter.

    This brand might fit your face but it a little over your budget.

    Thanks I'll check them out. $200 isn't a firm line, I just can't justify spending $7 or $800 on a mask. Ideally I'd like a M40 since I have prescription inserts for them but having a hard time finding a surplus in large.

    I have this one, the M/L isn't that big but technically provides the proper coverage and seal.
    You can get prescription inserts but they are hard to find.

    Mira safety 7m or 6m depending on use (6m would be more difficult to use with rifles, but better fov).

    Havent used them, just researched and added them to the list of stuff to get.

    $239 for 6m, $249 for 7m

    I have one of those for the Mrs. It technically provides a seal but doesn't cover my entire face and is very uncomfortable due to size.

    But that's 3 votes for Mira now. I'll be checking them out for sure.

    Speaking as someone sitting on a big box of expired filters I would pay the price for the Mira filters that are good for 25 years for sure. I am think I have a L M40 I don't need, I can use either M or L but mostly stick with the M's I will look of one later today if you are still interested.

    I bought a Mestel SGE 400/3 BB and a couple of their 5 year shelf life CBRN filters which I sealed in mylar to extend the shelf life. Very comfortable mask.

    Also bought some Mira Safety 20 year shelf life CBRN filters and their Virus filters.
