Need advice on Star "B" Jamming

boogalou1 · December 20, 2001, 11:55 AM

I have a mag that will feed the first round, double feed round's 2 & 3, then feed fine until the last one, then it won't go into battery. The original mag I got with this pistol works fine with all 8 rounds. The only difference between the mags is that the feed lips on the good one are closer together and the mag looks brand new. The problem one does look like it has seen some use.
Is there a easy way to narrow the feed lips or is this mag a lost cause. Thanks in advance.

You can try bending the feed lips on the bad one with pliers until they look like the ones on the good mag. But no guarantee this will work.

I thought that was one of the "features" of the Star pistol...

Seriously, what Jim said.
