I can't seem to find what the diameter of these are anywhere. Is the army model 3/8" around? Also, does the plastic part at the end come off easily?
 
You can order the 3/8th online and the plastic end will come off with a little tug with some pliers and a vise. The Army model is teh 3/8 version..the scout is 1/4 ...IIRC....Gene
 
The plastic didn't pull off easily on mine. I laid mine down on a bar of trioxane, lit it up, and melted the plastic handle off.
 
A couple more questions if you don't mind :).
When the plastic is removed, is there still a hole in the firesteel for running chord through? And does the 3/8" version fit inside the bark river loops on the sheaths? I have the aurora and the sheath has the firesteel holder and I just want to make sure it fits inside of it before purchasing.
 
BRK&T custom fire steels are the same Dia. as the Swedish Army light my fire firesteels and will fit the loops
