STAR BM 9mm prices?

[AUTIGER04]

I saw on another thread where someone recommends a Star BM 9mm.
They said that the Star was as reliable and everything as a Makarov is only more powerful. My question is, How much do these guns run in price? Ive seen on "gunbroker.com" they range from$199 and up. Is this whole sale or retail? If this gun is really comparable to the "Mak" Then Im very much interested.

I just purchased one from Blazer610 on the buy,sell,trade section of the high road forums for $175 plus shipping. What a great little gun!!!

Hello. I would estimate prices at $150 to $200 or so depending upon condition.

Some comments on some Star pistols as well as the BM are at the link below if interested.

Best.

Nice! Thanks for the Info.

Damn, I am sooo tempted. Less than $200 later, I could have one of these neat looking pistolas.

I don't need these temptations...

Where would you get parts for them?

 

[AUTIGER04]

Longeyes, That was my next question.

Are parts available?

 

[firestar]

Aim has them for $129. If you need parts, just buy two guns.

 

[AUTIGER04]

That price is for FFL holders. Everyone that I talk to says they will run about $200-$300.

 

[BowStreetRunner]

just get someone to do a FFL transfer and you can get it for AIM's price plus transfer fee plus shipping

I found a dealer said that he could get me one for$170. Is this to much?

NO! That is not too much for a quality gun such as the Star BM. Grab it at that price while you can! The cheapest I have seen one in the "real" world is $199 at a gunshow but it only came with one mag and was only in so-so condition. I was going to buy it but I found a S&W M-19 down the isle that took up all my gun-cash for the day.

I think $200 or less OTD is a deal. I wouldn't pay too much more than $200 because if dealers can buy them for $129 from Aim, the price may come down a bit in the near future. I don't think you will get a better deal than $170 so I would buy it if I were you.

BTW, I have a Star Firestar and a Star B that are both really good guns. The Firestar is very accurate and the Model B is just cool. I need a Star BM to add to my Star collection, if I see one soon, I will buy that instead of the Mak I was thinking about getting.

 

[AUTIGER04]

Yep, Thats where they are going to order it from. Thanks for the info.

I've had a 9mm Star BM for about 15 + years now and couldn't ask for a more dependable gun. I probably put about 800 rounds, both factory and reloads, through it . I can't even remember when it ever jammed or failed to fire, if it ever did. Nothing has ever needed replacement, not even the recoil spring. I use this gun as my carry piece as it is light and small and easily concealable. I would recommend this gun/model to anyone. This gun is a copy of the 1911 series, only it doesn't have the grip safety.
