LA Police Gear has these:

http://www.lapolicegear.com/detegasma.html

One is NBC, the other is essentially just for CS, CN or OC.   Problem is: from what I can tell the only filter you can buy through LAPG is the one for the CS/CN/OC.....so it really wouldn't do any good to get the NBC mask if you can't get filters.

Does anyone have a source for NBC filters?  I'm guessing they are heavily regulated.  For a SHTF scenario involving biological weapons, obviously I'd need the NBC mask.

Also, I need two of these: one for me, one for the wife but at $300 a piece, that's not likely to happen.  Are there any surplus masks you guys would recommend (used is fine), but I'd like a filter on the side if possible.   M-17s I see occasionally for sale at surplus stores.  Anyone have any good sources for filters or masks or can recommend a particular model?

BTW, I'm might buy right away if the price is right.....I've got most of my preps going along nicely and the masks are really something I highly doubt I'd need, but it's more of a JIC thing.  If they are going to run $300 each, then I will likely wait.

Er....maybe I should learn to read.  Looks like the cheaper $169 mask works on NBC threats as well...just need the appropriate filter.  Anyone know where to get the 1745 CBNR filter for this mask:

I can't tell for sure, but the 1785 filter they sell doesn't look like it's rated for Chemical, Biological, Nuclear, Radiological attacks....any clarification would be great.

TIA,

For NBC, ebay yourself an MSA Millenium (Navy's MCU-2P) - $30-50, with Scott M-95 or MPC Plus filters ~$40 ea.

You can get 40mm industrial work filters for a little cheaper from lots of places. I think some may even have changeable particulate filters over the industrial gas section.

Get a military issue M40. Tons on ebay and they work. I was trained on these extensively and got a brand new 3M M40 in the EE for cheap.
