    The M-17 inserts can be bent to fit many other models....and from what I have heard....will fit a M-40....

    They are cheap...

    Regarding prescription inserts if you go with MSA they offer them. There are some lens you mount in a rubber like pair of glasses you wear under military gas mask. These do not work well. I have had a couple and could never get a good seal even though I was assured they would work.

    One other option is get some stick on lens they make for scuba divers' mask. I was going to go to these for a different application from the masks but it was solved so I never got to try theses.

    I bought a pair of these frames MANY MANY MOONS AGO, they work GREAT! You can wear them without a mask as you would any other glassess, and when its time to don the mask, you dont have to take them off and swap inserts, or anything else... the mask fits perfect without a loss of seal.

    However... for me, the expensive part happens to be the LENS! I have terrible eyes and my prescriptions are quite costly...

    Those are the same type and location that I got mine. I guess my square head interferes with the seal............
