Also, I paid 700 flat and it looks to be in unfired condition.

If its good enough for firefighters, then its good enough for me. The other one I am looking at is the MSA Advantage 1000.
Like this:
MSA ADVANTAGE 1000 LRG CBA/RCA GAS MASK NEW - eBay (item 330541660901 end time Mar-16-11 20:00:33 PDT)
The good thing about the MSA is that there are snap on tinted visors- good to conceal identity as well as block out the sun. But at twice the price, with expired filters, I could also just buy 2 of the Scott's get 2 in date filters and tint of of the visors myself for daytime use, but that means carrying 2 masks. Too much to think about...
Dont really know that I need a mask to begin with. I chopped the long hair off this weekend, but I aint losing the goatee.
Just remember thermal dynamics, if it dissipates quickly, it absorbs quickly as well! Aluminum vs cast iron engine heads are a great example. Aluminum is lighter and dissipates heat quicker but is also more likely to warp and suffer from metal fatigue from the thermal cycling. Cast iron is heavier but less likely to 'junk out' if your engine overheats once or twice. There's always a trade off! I had a free floating handguard but the downside was it required removing the barrel if I wanted to remove the handguard... Not very field friendly at all.
Mutt: I wouldn't worry as much about identity concealment. In the post z-day world, there won't be that many people and you're more likely to be identified by your clothes, weapons, and equipment than your face. That will be a lot 'safer' to remember than faces. This is going to be a post trauma world where people normally won't want to remember faces in case they might remember them 'later'. Plus, you'd have to swap masks every time you entered/exited a building during the day... I'd look into tear-offs instead. They'll run out eventually, but then again, so will everything eventually.

good point...I will go with the cheaper one with the in-date filters...plus, I can always have it tinted with a very light mirror tint or even that tint you cant see into but can out of. I dont know why I am worried with concealment cause like you said, the clothes and accessories will be a giveaway, but for some reason I feel I NEED to conceal.
It does serve a psychological purpose, both for you and any living hostiles you might encounter. Being a 'faceless boogeyman' can have it's advantages. Anyone who doubts this has forgotten why Halloween seems to upset a lot of pets. People and animals heavily rely on seeing someone/things eyes to determine their intentions...
Gas mask has been purchased. Just a waiting game now. My luck I will need it the day before it delivered.

I just bought another item to add to my bag...an ato-miser: The Ato-Miser
I mistakenly thought it was a tank mod... Its basically just a re-buildable atomizer, but will come in handy.
Anyone know of a good tank mod?

I saw you looking to trade for it. I almost went to buy one just to trade you for it. 
i sold the GLV2 and then just bought the ato-miser...didnt do a lot of research on it and thought it was a tank mod. Oh well...will be nice to have an atty in the bag that can be rebuilt.
I still want to find a decent tank mod

You can mod the aluminum keychain pill bottles or if you can get a lathe and some delrin, you can use food grade tubing with your choice of diameter. Those are the two I've heard the most about and I actually bought some V2 Clearomizers. I like them better than carts and attys but not as much as my dripper tip on a mega 510 atty.
I've been hearing good things about the MAP tanks, but IDK. I really hated the clear CE2s, and they remind me of those.
Sorry . . . MAP Tank Mods
I've been seeing a lot of them with good news. I haven't been in the market yet, so I haven't been paying a lot of attention. Might be worth reading up on or posting an opinion thread.

I have already broken 2 MAP tanks in non-zombie/survival situations. I am waiting on the Giantomizers. Tank mod with a metal casing an a window cut out to observe liquid levels. Sounds more applicable to me.

I just saw that Good Prophets is coming out with something new. It will be a 4ml tank. You take the innards out of a clearomizer and put it inside. I think AFS/AVS style??? No pictures yet, but I'm waiting until they get theirs out so I can check it out.

I've done fairly well with the clearomisers- one with the syringe mod, and one with the original plastic. haven't tried more than two cause i haven't had to yet. But the giantomizer with metal and a looksee window sounds like a better option for post z-day

FWIW, this link shows a good way to increase the ability of the ato-miser based on Raidy's atomizer design concept using stainless mesh. There is a video in the thread, and links to supplies too. Not the most detailed, but it's enough to inspire a little innovation.

Have you gotten to cap any rounds off with that new AR yet? I've had one since 96. Can't imagine how many rounds I've put through it. Imo, they are great rifles.
Oh yeah! Shoots nice but a pain in the .... to clean. Learned the hard way what pins to pull when the trigger and spring flew past my face! LOL. Ordered a mount and scope today and can't wait to see how she does a little further out! I hope to make it home this weekend and shoot some with the wife if my testing goes well with the coast guard exam in the morning. If not it will be another weekend of studying and no beer
already have to stay sober for saint Patricks day so I'm NOT a happy camper!Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
Yeah, just the one in the back and occasionally the front pin if you want to completely break it down into a compact size. Invest in aerosol cleaner and an old toothbrush for cleaning the hard to reach places. Cleaning the bolt was the biggest PITA problem I had with mine. Lube it up heavy, and clean in as soon as you can after shooting. Once it dries out, it seems like you do more chiseling than cleaning deposits off it.
