Re: Gas lens no good?
Hey mate , Some of the gas lenses you see in BOC stores are CK gas lenses just rebranded with the BOC name . If you ring them and have trouble finding someone that knows anything about CK products which I'm guessing you will then ask to speak with a Jamie Natoli or email him on Jamie.Natoli@boc.com ...
