There was a Makita advertised on ebay as a DCS 6400 with a shot piston and cyl, unfortunately it was not a 6400 but a 6000 or 6800, went for £77 with a none functioning brake band, so gives you an idea of what people pay!

I think this chart is showing piston and cylinder come in 47mm, 50mm and 52mm variants for the 6400, 7300 and 7900, so the 7900 wouldn't fit on its own. 

 

It used to be possible to upgrade a 6000 to a 6800 by changing just piston and cylinder so you might still consider swapping to 7900 spec if the cylinder is shot. Most likely you'll get away with new piston and cleaning up cylinder though.

 

I can't get cylinders for 6000 and more but I did get a new piston from @shavey ajschainsaws . May be worth looking him up.
