Star BM mag springs
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.
