.....Springfield Armory EMP. It is very similar to the Star, size-wise, and also holds 8 rounds.

choice. I had one of the Stars but gave it to a son. While sorting out some feeding problems, I'm pretty sure I bought some mag springs. I'll go look in a bit and, assuming it's not all a hallucination, I'd be happy to send it/them in your direction.

Bob, the springs for a 9mm 1911 mag will work quite well in the Star BM magazines. I have replaced the springs in several mags for my three BM pistols and they work great. The Colt springs are a bit stouter than the originals, so I usually load seven rounds rather than eight, but I do the same with the original Star mags as well to save the original springs. My BMs do duty as house, garage, truck and tractor, and general grab-and-go guns, so the mags stay loaded most of the time.

I have been told that the stronger Colt springs will cause the feed lips to deform or crack, but I have not seen that. One Starvel mag I have has stayed loaded continuously for about four years, with no apparent damage.

Thanks Everyone. Good information.
