I've been trying a variety of cures for the fact that my 9mm Star, Mod. B, jams anytime I load more than 5 rounds in the 8 rd. magazine. I started out with an original star mag -- probably 40+ years old. It jammed every time I put more than 5 rounds in. So I assumed it was simply an old spring.
The solution: buy 3 new 8 rd. mags from Interarms. Result -- ditto, all three new mags jam with anything over 5 rds. I have fed both ball and hollow point thru. Both feed five rounds pretty reliably. After that, jam.
I have also put a new Wolff spring in the receiver. No discernible change, before or after that.
Any suggestions of where I might attack this next? Thanks.
