If you are in the market for a fire piston those sold on Ebay by Emil at EB Primitives are superb and work out cheaper than many from the UK.
The basic kit I bought contained piston, cleaning rod, dozens of spare seals, pricker to remove coal, lube, a tinder tin which you transfer the coal to, bag of tinder, two bags of Black Bear Igniter (a type of char material). This included extras in the box to compensate for the postage from CONUS, a very nice gesture! There is even a small attached thread which decompresses the piston in order to close it up fully for transit.
Even better, I placed a tiny bit of igniter in the holder and tried it, blow me if it didn't work straight from the box! Cleaned and ready for next use.
Highly recommended
No connection........................................etc.
Anyone else have one?
