    wait you are half correct :D

    If i read this correctly, any Russian gasmask manufactured BEFORE 1956 >CAN< contain blue asbestos

    but Gasmasks after 1956 >CAN< still contain this stuff

    If you want a gasmask for actuall usage, get a modern civilian or army one. If you want to use an old gasmask for reenactment or airsoft, it is best to clear the filter of its contents

    It is tricky and require alot of russian style hammering, but it CAN be done

    I tried my GP5(i wear it alot) and the east german one. The glasses are very thick and survived an impact with no problem

    To empty one, i opend the cap(where you screw it in) and i slammed a sharp rod trough the charcoal, in wich i used a Pliers to bend the metal and such so that they can fit trough it hole

    it took me a VERY VERY VERY long time tough so get some coffee and beer so that you dont become insane

    theta123: What you can always do if you want to wear it, is to simply "empty" the filter from its contents.
    rolfwar: how?

    the rule would be=when was it manufactured?

    The soviets and warsaw pact stopped using asbestos in the 60's. In theory.



    What i ment=its gonna take a long long time to clean the filter of its contents.
    So have some coffee and beer with you so you dont go insane

    I have toons of Russian GP-5 gasmasks and a lot of spare filters (i should last with all my filters about a day after atomic war well if you change your filters in 15 min intervals and i have one that easter german mask, but i kinda dont like it because the filter is big and it is kinda anoying and if you get your tube, that connects gasmask to the filter demaged you are a deadman. Btw all those GP-5 gasmasks are from ssrs ( the filters are new) so thanks you Russians for making so good gasmaks. Greetings from Lithuania :)

    Any russians that could help me with this? I'm looking for a working gas mask, but all I found had expired filters. But I thought that Russia would have some shops for this. But I don't speak russian, and Google translate doesn't help me very much... Ok let's get down to it:
    Can any of you help in finding out how to buy from these sites? Provitogaz seems to be B2B only...
    http://www.raboservice.ru/catalog/protivogazy-filtruyuwie-grazhdanskie/
    http://protivogaz.com/catalog.html
    http://www.balama.ru/protivogaz.html

    Thanks in advance! :) Anyone who helps me will receive 50 bullets... Or 48 after taxing, I think. ;)
     
  13. You should try the eBay. Otherwise you'd have to hire a middleman to purchase a gasmask and ship it to you.

    Well there issent really an 'danger' with expired filters. You just have to be carefull(as with ALL gasmasks and even non expired ones) that the activated charcoal is not coming loose from the filter itself.

    However if you plan to use filters in toxic enviroments, then an expired filter is not reccomended

    I've tried that. All filters are expired. So it looks like I'll have to go with an expired one.

    Well, I am actually going to use it in slightly toxic environments, but nothin I wouldn't be able to handle without a filter (It's a basement that has been closed for a couple of years in a former warehous, it's very humid and such - would you recommend a gasmask for that?)
     
  16. Yeah, I don't know any gasmask manufacturer that ships abroad, so the middleman or the eBay is the best bet. You might also look up Stalker/Postapoc recreator forums in your country/city and see if they have any.

    well maybe it is advisable to get a civilian gasmask in your local working/do it your own store

    and always have a second person standing by to interfere when something happens! (thanks for bullets :))

    Well i have like 10 new filters for GP-5 gasmask's. And i had a good thought: we da f@ck i need that meny if we even dont have a metro in Vilnius. I would probably die in the blast, because i live on the hill and on 11 floor so i jould be lucky if i could reach basement in time :tsk:

    but all in all, im thinking on buying a new gasmask, but i dont know wich one to pick, both cost 25 lt, thats about 7 Eur and bouth are kinda new and look awesome, so here:

    http://www.skelbiu.lt/skelbimai/gp-7-dujokauke-13116040.html

    Oh and im thinking of buying one Nazi helmet for 350 lt/100 Eur ( yeah kinda expensive)
