Mad Machinist Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Lucked into a nice Star Z45 kit....need to make a reciever tube (have proper sized metric tube) but onlyhave one 9mm Largo magazine. I don't want a 9mm largo SMG....anyone have a source for 9mm x 19 Z-45 mags. I know the gun was made for export in 9 x 19 as well as 45 ACP. If anyone has any, or can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMGguy Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 The Star Model B pistol was originally designed to take 9mm Largo as well. The gun was later produced in 9mm 9x19mm. The factory didn't change the Model B's grip frame or the magazines. Instead, they welded a steel strip inside the front of each magazine that was exactly the thickness of the difference in case length between 9mm Parabellum and 9mm Largo. Could you do the same thing? I've noticed in my Star Model Bs that if I load 9x19 into a 9mm Largo mag, feeding is just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
