After serial number 1,560,901 in 1981, all BM pistols were fitted with a ramped and serrated front sight. In general, earlier pieces were more highly polished and later ones were more of a matte finish. The pistols were made without mechanical variation throughout that period, but there may be a lot of different cosmetic variations depending on agency issue and commercial sales.

BM serial numbers ranged from 1,226,501 to somewhere around 1,982,884. I don't see the thread getting too lengthy anyway.A total of 217,682 Star BM pistols were made between 19. I don't get on here enough to check im's so just post what ya find.
With all of the recent posts on Star's it would be great to have a tacked thread with as much information as possible.Īlso, thank you Striker for tacking this in the forum. Hope this helps, if you know of more please add it. This is retified by loading your mags correctly, have the longest TOL that you can load or just spacing the mags. This is not a problem and the "stack" can be cleared in split seconds, if you have been trained in it. This has the result that if the sidearm does not have enough oil, bad ammo or a thumb rides the slide the habitual "smoke stack" will occur. As the B has a habit of cracking the slide after hard and abusive work, just like some 1911's, the SA Army modified the recoil guide by fitting a shock dampener.
Little bit of informative info from desterfox: The recoil guide on this Star has a couple of hick-ups, but this is something that can be solved very quickly. You can find factory magazines at gun shows and on ebay(at one time have not checked in a while) they're fairly reasonable considering the company is no longer around. Personally, I have not had good luck with the aftermarket magazines. Of course the Firestar's are stamped on the slide "Firestar" they are pretty self explanatory.

Little bit of information to add: To check the model series if you do not know, check on the beveled inside edge of the magwell and you will see a letter, that is the model Star you have. This place has a few parts(literally) for F model and Pony model Star's. OhioEd advises this is a source for factory mags.Ĭeeter found this source for replacement springs. handguns/hg113-e.htm Information on the Firestar series. Older Star parts, never ordered from them since all I have is a Firestar model.

The first link above has their phone number, I'm gonna try to remember and give them a call to see if they are even still around, if my dumb ass can figure out how to make an internation call. They are in Spain, so shipping is probably pricey, but it seems to be a good parts source. There was a member here on the board who has ordered, and said the quality was good. Seems to be a reliable parts source for the newer model Stars, such as the Firestar series. Information on the really old Star's from the 1920s. They have added more info for parts, holsters, magazines et cetera. Not to be confused with a corporate website, Star is bankrupt and no longer around, they shut their doors along with Astra in May 1997. Good site with information and some parts links, not sure how accurate and up to date the links are, will check into it further and advise. There is not much information on these pistols so a centralized spot to find links would be great! This is very short, but some of the more common link that I found a while back.
