Anyone have those old magnesium strip ignitors. I think they were called sure-shot. THey sure were. I never had a misfire. The estes are prone to drying and cracking, at least after 20 years!!!! Anyone make anything like them? If you have a pack of the old Centuri Sure-shots, I'd be interested.

Bob--

Just to follow-up, I replied to your private message and sent you an e-mail earlier but I haven't heard from you. Maybe you're gone?
