i was lucky enough to get a fire piston off of the gift it on thread and i thought they looked simple enough but i cant even get a hint of a glow out of it.
ive lubed the shaft.
but at the tip is a screw with a sort hollowed out set of cross head and apparently im supposed to put a piece of char slab in there.... HOW???? it would have to be about 1mmx1mm to fit in that gap and once its in there i cant get it out! anything bigger gets stuck in the tube....
help me bushcraft gurus, i know ye exist!
