Does anyone know the type of Asbestos used in the make up of MG42/M53 barrel change gloves and whether it poses a health risk by handling them, please? Is there a potential to breath in Asbestos fibres simply by handling these gloves or is the Asbestos somehow "locked" into the fabric. I purchased a Yugo cleaning kit for a M53 which appeared to have one of these gloves, this slightly surprised me, from a U.K. dealer, recently.
Thank-you for any advice on this.Information
