I have heard that a lot of the C&R Star Mod. B's are coming out of Russia. It seems that they captured a lot of them from German territory and shipped them back to Soviet armories. There they were disassembled, like parts piled together after cleaning, and then reassembled. Unfortunately, this required some gunsmithing for a proper fit, and they had to manufacture some new extractors and other parts that weren't so interchangeable. If you see extractors with a purplish cast to them, that is the Soviet version of gun bluing. Some owners have reported persistent feeding failures (i.e stovepipes), and don't recommend them for personal defense weapons. I've had a Modelo Super in 9mm Largo, and never had any problems with it. My nephew now owns it, and loves it.
