Hello. The "B" on your pistol means "bonafacio" if I recall correctly and is not a Model B. I believe that you have a Model A, which is essentially the same pistol, but with a wider slide and the appropriate changes in the bbl, extractor, magazine, ejector, etc.

CDNN (www.cdnninvestments.com) advises that they bought all of the spare magazines sold by Interarms before that company went under. I didn't see any Model A magazines for sale in their catalog, but you might contact them in case they do have some.

Best.
 
Krasne's Triple-K makes hard to find magazines also. I've gotten new (made by them) Mauser HSc and Sterling MKII (don't ask) mags from them.
 
Call Forrest

The last STAR 45 mags I bought were from Forrest, Inc. They have an ad in almost every issue of Shotgun News and Gun List.
 
Try the folks at M&M Gunsmithing - they bought a lot of the Interarms stock when Interarms went out of business. I've bought parts for a Star from them with no problem - once had to exchange a wrong part and that was a breeze.
