    Why are you calling it a NATO 40mm Russian?

    My point is that you are referring to them as "nato 40mm gas mask filter russian".

    They cannot be NATO and Russian.

    Most likely they are Newer GOST filters, = No Asbestos. The GOST does screw into the NATO thread, but it's not 100% sealed. I mean...you know, there is always Duct Tape, as fore-mentioned You can 'find' a 40MM to Standard adapter, to screw in Regulator Respirator N95 etc filters. Someone should be 3D printing them, as they are hard to find.

    They could be, but the writing on the canister indicates these are GP-5 canisters made in 91. Production of the masks ended in 1990, so these are likely replacements for masks still kicking around. It is almost certain to contain asbestos, which is not going to be a problem unless the canister has been battered around at some point in its 30 year life.

    I can't say anything about the mask, but I would steer well clear of those canisters unless they are certified asbestos-free and are for novelty purposes only. The thread would be similar diameter but different pitch. Some reports clean they screw on to NATO masks but does it make sense to take a risk with a device meant to save your life?
