No. Avon still exists, they have the current contract to make the M-50 gas mask. (Which, BTW, is not compatible with standard NATO CBRN 40mm cartidges.)
The proprietary cartridge design kills it, IMO. It’s like making a super-gucci AR-15, but then it only uses your mags, and your mags cost $150/ea., v. $20 for a Magpul.
Used the link to order a Mira mask and NBC-17 filter. No conflict in my area yet, but I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
Did Mira used to be Avon?

Damn, that mask was awesome. Was my favorite mask I ever wore.
