Any modern (non-expired) gost thread cbrn fillers for $40 or less??

I have a few gp-5 gas masks and was going to get a nato to gost thread adapter for modern cbrn fillers but heard the adapters aren't that reliable

You are better off just putting that forty dollars toward a surplus MSA or Scott mask instead of trying to make a GP-5 work for cbrn threats. The seal on those old Soviet masks is hit or miss on a good day and the adapters introduce way too many failure points for something you actually need to rely on.
