I got a 4a1 on ebay for like 8$ thinking it was an insane deal. After buying it I now realize that it's missing both the metal parts on the front and the drinking tube. So now I'm terrified that when I get it it won't seal properly. (Probably doesn't matter regardless since it was so cheap. But still.
Did you get all these masks as surplus off of ebay or did you purchase it brand new? If its brand new, where did you get it? From some local store or from the manufacturers official site? Links would be greatly appreciated.
I don't feel like that drinking straw is being used correctly. It seems like there should be an adapter of some kind to connect it to a canteen. It just stands to reason that you would risk contamination by using it the way you demonstrated.
@@gasmaskcollectorreview1537 I'm planning on buying one of these to replace one that was stolen. Would you be aware of an adapter? Could use one for my canteen. I've been searching and haven't had any luck.
@LegoGuy87 I have a G.I. canteen made by Skilcraft. Just an old surplus canteen. The lid on it is compatible with gas masks like the M40. Basically any gas masks that have been used by the US military for the past 20 or so years. As far as the Israeli gas mask, I don't know. I assume you could find the adapter from the M40 and make it fit.
hello friend, I have a question for you, I have the same mask as yours, I wanted to wipe it with 90° ethyl alcohol, and it suddenly began to peel off, what do you think, is it just the paint or the rubber began to soften and crack? and is it possible to wipe gas masks with ethyl alcohol 90°? will nothing happen or will they start to deteriorate?

Do you know how I could disassemble a gas mask 4 A1?
You can dissemble the mask they have aluminum strip wrapped around the inhale assembly
@@gasmaskcollectorreview1537 How could I open the seal of the aluminum strip without breaking it?
@@xarv368 I don't think you can dissemble them without breaking it
@@gasmaskcollectorreview1537 so is it impossible to change the valves?
@@xarv368 which valve

@STALKER_X21X don't use ethyl alcohol just use soapy hot water
@@gasmaskcollectorreview1537 can it somehow harm and spoil the gas mask and damage it? Thank you for the answer
@@STALKER_X21X that will not harm or spoil the mask
@@gasmaskcollectorreview1537 thank you very much, Appreciate your reply.
@@STALKER_X21X no problem
