How to Swap AVON FM-12 Lenses | Airsoft

[@CorvaxDK]

I bought a pair of clear lenses from him and they fit perfectly :-) The outer ring is damn hard to get back on, but I found out, that it helps to fit it near the nose part and then press the rest of it against a flat surface (table). It popped right in to place :-)

This video really came in handy, we really can find “how to do” anything on youtube. Just got the same mask and wanted to lens swap, this guided me through it. 👌 thanks!

I know this is an old video but im 16 and i just ordered a pair of smoke lenses for my fm12 and plan to use it for a thatcher cosplay. this video will help me a lot when i install the lenses, thanks man!

[@gettinwithit9275]

Where did you get the smoke lens from? Been looking everywhere

[@gabrielmarquise5682]

Kolby W seller on eBay ships them from UK. Just any search of fm12 or s10 airsoft lenses on eBay and you find them. Hope this helped!

@@gabrielmarquise5682 thanks so much! Found em perfectly.

It would be able to protect against gas, if you've got an airtight seal with the lenses. Unless it's made out of that flexible stuff they put on certain panoramic gas masks, it should be fine.

[@DingleFlop]

When we talk about "rated for gas" we are referring to resistance to corrosives and solvents, and lack of porosity. Many types of gasses can actually permeate many types of plastics. That's not ideal when you're talking something that has the potential to kill you. Obviously, most people will never use their mask in a genuinely dangerous situation, but that doesn't change the facts of the matter.

[@keybinde3960]

If I were to take off the orginal polycarbonate lenses and apply them later would the seal still be air tight?

[@thatchermain9164]

Just bought an FM12 and mirrored blue lenses for a cosplay project, this video was really helpful, thanks!

[@Hellunkurest]

Vector?

[@_mirakuli_603]

How much do you pay for the mask?

[@gettinwithit9275]

Where did the get the lenses??

[@thatchermain9164]

Ufkn wat Spot on!

[@thatchermain9164]

Kolby W I got the lenses from eBay, they’re ‘airsoft proof’ lenses which were available in many colors

[@stevewilliams2895]

the lenses are perfectly fine for gas. as long as the lenses are sealed around the ridge (the replacements are a perfect fit) and all the fittings of the outer rings are tight it would be fine. polycarb is used on gas mask lenses and visors all the time

[@beanos2287]

Would it make a seal after the replacement or would taking out the originals damage the seal?

[@stevewilliams2895]

@@beanos2287 as long as the lenses fit in the frame it seals. If you're really worried get Airsoft outserts instead. That leaves the seal intact

[@beanos2287]

@@stevewilliams2895 well my original lenses are a little scuffed up so a pair of airsoft replacements might be useful.

[@stevewilliams2895]

@@beanos2287 i havent had a problem with them after testing with banana oil. obviously if youre in a profession or role where you might reasonably expect to come into contact with dangerous chemicals just get the official lenses or a new mask. but if youre a prepper/collector you shouldnt have an issue with the airsoft ones. they are flat however and the stock ones are concaved

[@markcouture4726]

That inside black ring with the two nubs: is there a place to buy those separately? (lost some)

[@KingTiger10588]

dude nice step by step tutorial

[@duckytof]

It would've been great if he woulda put the kenda gun shop on the business card from raccoon city lmao great vid

[@potatoheadsmasher]

Anyone know where to get the outer rings, mine is missing one and I have no idea where to get one Ordered from multiple places and they’ve been outsert rings or the inner ring to keep lenses in place

[@enricob15]

Awesome and easy tutorial

[@IndoGunsnGear]

Would replacing the lenses compromise the mask's protection against gasses?

[@HeckerAirsoft]

Depends

[@fuzzy4461]

Just buy outserts, it way easier.

[@macdee3974]

Great tutorial

[@ccsoldaccount]

That’s the same mask as mine, and I bought lenses from Alien too! Weird :o

[@Posting9C7E128]

Thanks!

[@eskilkvalheim213]

Can u do the sane on mf11 If its posseble

[@ShellShock11C]

Anyone know where I can get real internal lenses as a replacement for scratched ones??

[@truegamer9093]

Can these lenses still protect you from gas?

[@AirsoftWolverines]

no

[@gettinwithit9275]

@Strange Izuku Midoriya where can I find these outserts?

[@gettinwithit9275]

@Strange Izuku Midoriya Thanks!

[@beanos2287]

@Madara Uchiha some people have scratched lenses and want replacements

[@nerdgamer5673]

just bought the mirror silver lenses

[@bradlytinkey2947]

super late question but can you see out of them ok?

[@arronlowder5328]

Ive just got these and sadly no you cant! Might need to order some clear ones now :(

[@gettinwithit9275]

Where did you get them?!?

[@_mirakuli_603]

I am late but how much do you pay for the mask

[@NEHappyCamper]

$300 at the lowest

[@jamesbertini1695]

£100

[@user-zp4ge3yp2o]

In the UK I got one for £45

[@sergiosk8skate8]

Thanks bro for help. I have a question. How do these lenses withstand impacts? I have the same in green 😝

[@jamesbertini1695]

Hows fogging

[@CommissarVoren]

am i getting the Silent Hills Downpour vibe or is that me??

[@mrmeatman9948]

Alright, so if I remove the stock lenses and then place the same stock lenses back in, will the seal reform and be safe to use in a tactical scenario once more?

[@ShellShock11C]

Was wondering that too. I dont even do airsoft but I need to fins some replacement stock lenses because of scratching.

[@mrmeatman9948]

@@ShellShock11C there's actually someone on eBay who sells acrylic tinted lens that are 3D printed, they just snap on over top the lenses without any issue and keep the seal. They work and look great!

[@charles-vi7qb]

I'm sorry to inform you but normal gas masks aren't made for air soft and don't take being hit with small projectiles very well.
