Finnish M61 Gas Mask Another Review

right I'm just going to be rearview amass I've reviewed probably twice now actually over the years on this channel but this was the first ever mask I got but I bought in now off the complete kit because I never actually originally had it with that so this is a finish m61 this is probably a second generational that now the finish m61 is just kind of a really good American inline copy so for those of you that don't know just to try and make this sort of like a very streamlined history sort of video in this in the late forties I believe it was the US came up with the u.s. m9 and the m9 where I'm line a1 was basically a very good sort of 60 millimeter filter mask it was basically where british huh britain had the like anti gas respirator america had the em line and the em line was best in the lie anteus respirator there wasn't perfect now the in line was a really popular design and it was the main you know mask use by the US before the m17 so what ended up happening was lots of different nations ended up saying we're either gonna do licensed or unlicensed copies of the m9 now out of all of those the ones that probably turned out the best was the finish one known as the finish m61 and finish m60 ones are pretty common on the surplus market in europe and they're actually very good masks the reason being is just finland made them for a very long time you know and all the companies that made them knew what they were doing so anyway here's a finish m61 now this has got a six seed forty millimeter adapter in that we'll talk a bit about that in a minute but i'll take that off to show you the mask as it originally stems go in they're quite tight so this is the finish m61 very very straightforward and simple it literally is the mask and or a nasal cut you can see this one's dried out a little bit on the inside but it looks perfectly usable that yeah this particular one the camera will focus on it was made by nokia if it wants to focus probably won't yeah this one actually made by nokia because poor knock you made mobiles they make s mosques so the satchels are actually very good high quality satchels they come with quite useful if usable to get satchel for something else so this contains the decontamination powder which i've never bothered to use mike and Stacy all for now it's kind of nice to have it in there so this is the filter so a lot of people recently saying in streams did the sooo dot 61 T is in the finish m61 filter is it safe to use and will it stop Corona right so regardless is it safe to use as far as I'm aware it does not have asbestos in or anything dodgy like that it probably contains chromium but as you probably know if you've watched my videos for a while I'm not too concerned about chromium because so many filters have used over the years so basically it seems to have like a very thick kind of cotton pad there which can't really see there's a lot of dead space or some reason in this filter you'd think they'd probably have shrunk that bit down a bit but doesn't matter and then it's also impregnated charcoal in this section so don't screw it out on to the mask will this off the vapor protection I very much doubt it due to age like reliable protection will the mask work as a particulate filtration mask if you just simply want to wear a mask and stop dust and all that sort of horrible stuff getting down you yes what would be the rating of this if it was put on a modern system probably p2 not P free but again that's better than I think but again like I saying we'll go to in a minute you can use sixty to forty millimeter filters on this so now one thing is the mask doesn't have any voice diaphragm on the second dramatic there you go that's the mask on pretty simple you probably can't hear me very well you've got your Excel bound under here covered by the little exhale flap thing I suppose people could probably hear you a bit better if you took that bit off but again that means the air doesn't isn't deflected down to a certain direction but that's up to you how you want to run it right we'll take this off more quickly and then what we'll just quickly demonstrate is sixty to forty millimeter converters sound like that ghost when I was there very disappointed with I got the other day you where I'm at hadn't got a washer in it and the filter got stuck you'll notice in these maybe that there's actually a washer in them and the idea was a lot of nations made sixty to forty money to converters because if they previously been using sixty millimeter masks they didn't want a glass service yet they did these so what we're going to do is just simply obviously screw that end into the s10 filter there we go that's on properly then straight up into the mask there we go pop back on didn't really it readjusts the straps properly but there we go it seems to still be pressurizing so here we are that is the finish m61 was the for you oh look at how can strike the mask I'm afraid so well I keep breathing in the tanks going up and down me so to clean out before I ever think about using it again yeah finish m60 ones are really nice masks if you want a good quality of nine clone they're probably the best one you can get certainly better the old Yugoslav ones for obvious reasons if you don't know basically communist Yugoslavia did one called the m1 laughing one without one or nasal cup called BMC one and that's the one that for some really weird reason seems to mount in on itself why I don't know but there you go so that's the finish m61 weirdly it was the very first master I ever got I was given it as a gift and I bet people wish I was never given masks a gift now cuz I thought well this is cool I want more of these sort of things so yeah it's got a big bulgy nose on it the reason it's got a big bulgy nose it is because it's called the Tissot system and the or nasal cup sort of all built into no space but yeah it's a very good mask oi is an exceptionally good mask there's the V free sort of version of qinglai to have a voice diaphragm on the only issue of those is it seems sometimes the voice diaphragm plates in them can be a bit crap and let air through there I that might have been a reason that there was another many of those on surplus market compared to the v2 because I know the v2 is probably in production for the longest time and the V freeze probably only saw limited numbers maybe used some defects I don't know but I finish m61 is very good mass you
