I inherited a Star Model BS 9mm from my Father. He picked it up at a pawnshop strictly to have around for home defense. I never thought much of the gun until I needed something to take my first gun class with and I didn’t want to buy a pistol until I had taken the class and knew more about what I should consider. But upon checking it out on the net, I found out that it was a more respectable pistol then I would have thought (not great but well respected in Europe) and that the BS model is not very common and while there are parts for a number of models you find nothing for this particular model..
Well I started the class with it and experienced all sorts of FTE; the instructor gave me his brand new G19 to use for the rest of the class and said it probably needed a new spring and extractor. It is very; very easy to rack so it could very well have a played-out guide rod spring. It is not a great pistol and I doubt that it is a collector’s pistol but if I could make it serviceable I would like to keep it. So here is where I am at:
I either need to know some place to get parts, at least to try a new spring, for Star BS model, or more likely find out that the parts for the BS model are interchangeable with a more common model like the B model. Can some one help me out on this? Thanks
