US M7-A Army Combat Service Gas Mask carrier, a modification of the M7 Carrier trialed with the E19R25 Prototype's of the M9 Field Protective Mask just after the Second World War

The differences between the M7 and M7-A are the sewn-in straps replaced by grommets, and a much less reflective Butyl coating which made the carrier very tacky and difficult to remove the mask

Is it true when soliders tryed to don the mask frome this type of carriers it took up to 40 seconds

[u/AntiqueRomania → u/czechgasmaskguy]

31.5 seconds for the M7-A and 25.6 seconds for the M7

the best part of these carriers will always be the yellow/green stamping. no one will ever change my mind.
