Wait no longer Ted. Text updated. He died young. Colon Cancer. Get checked guys. 62 is way too young. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Knight -

Venmo, Chime, discreet PP, cash app. Zelle etc. I'm pretty verbose but if you have questions 480 612 3085 text me. *means includes custom patch. ***means includes custom patch and LAPG soft case. Yes, all prices are in multiples of 20. So I don't have to get change. I don't carry cash. Back up for sale! Glock 42. .380. 2 mags, Siderlock safety trigger. Lightened connector, clipdraw, extended slide stop. Will revert to stock if you like. Pinkie rest on one mag, +2 bottom on the other. Bought from Larry's in H'ville and fired maybe 50 times. Spare ghost connector, stock sights. Light burnish on right side of slide. I have clamshell box. Want a spare box of .380? You got it. S&B ball. $440.00 ETA Firewatchnash has flaked and gone radio silent. Taurus 689 vent rib stainless vent rib .357 6" bbl. 1994 gun. A few handling marks and pimptastic grips! Bought from some dork on Armslist years ago. Sent him money as soon as he gave me a UPS tracking number. Shot it maybe 60 times. If that. Have taken it afield hunting a few times. Want 94 rounds of Eddy's reloads for it? You got it. $440.00 THE STOEGERS Stoeger STR9. A very VERY underrated pistol. Feels great in the hand. Glock-ish mechanicals with a HK VP9/S&W SV9 aesthetic. I have FIVE. Except for the Sport/Combat, none are Optics Ready. Steel mags, steel sights. Takes many Glock parts like connectors, striker springs, underwater firing pin cups, triggers with slight mod and 2 have Clipdraws which are modified S&W M&P backplate thickness reduced by a nominal .017" I have the take off backplates if you'd like it restored. Custom parts listed with each gun. ALL 9mm! NIB, 9mm Sport/Combat with Swampfox Kingslayer. Threaded bb with protectorl, 3-20rd magazines, box, lock, manual, loader, backstraps, optics mounting plates straight trigger, tall fiber optic adjustable sights, cool competition magwell, Box and mounts for Kinsglayer included. Large green circle/cross reticle. $660.00 Bone Stock except mounting the sight. NIB, full size 4.6" black pistol, 15rd, box, oversleeve, loader, cool rubber band for the grip. (marital aid if you've got the length to spare?), want an spare NIW mag? You got it. $320.00 ***Fired <100x, FDE full size, this one came with factory paddle holster, 3 mags, backstraps, loader, that cool rubber band again, box and sleeve are beat up. I've done some trigger work to this and it has a short,smooth Johnny Glocks custom trigger with all the takeup nearly removed. Shoots nice. $460.00 ADD Factory threaded bbl and another mag to either of these for $100. I whined and carped at them for 2 years to import threaded barrels. Got one and then never fired either full size gun with a can on it. (yeah...I know) They are "just different enough" from a Glock barrel that no one would make me one. Fired <100x, FDE Compact 13rd with finger rest. Was considering for EDC...but went back to Gen 2 G19 instead. Did some trigger work on it. Clipdraw modded and installed. A spare full size NIW magazine? Sure. $360.00 The .45s ***Ruger P90, .45ACP My spirit broken, I've given up ever finding a Federal Ordnance/Dasan Korea threaded barrel for it. I've searched, literally for years. Sold dozens at Gun Shows back in the 90s, some in .400 CorBon! Bought it private sale from some dude who thought he "did me" by selling me a gun with a broken mag release spring. (Gunsmith since 1994 dude!) Ruger sent me 2. I might be able to find the other one but I doubt it. It's a KP, Stainless. Decocker. I polished the slide a bit to remove some handling scuffs and it wears Williams Fire Sights. I didn't install them. I have installed a heavier recoil spring and lighter hammer spring and done a tiny bit of polishing and the DA is much lighter, less gritty and SMOOOOOOOTH. I'm a big movie dork and I had some custom Walnut grips made with the District 9 KUDU logo on them. Topped with Hogue Stainless grip screws. Includes 4 or 5 Factory 7rd magazines. The 8rd ones have a flaw where the follower jumps the slide stop and binds up the whole gun. $440.00 ***Tisas 1911 US ARMY pistol. That great Greenish cerakote. Fired maybe 50x. I have the box and manual. I have 4 repro NSN numbered magazines from Sarco but they STICK in the gun. UGH. Don't know why and don't shoot it enough to care. Got some clear "Sweetheart" grips from Amazon. Found some sweet pin ups and had the pics printed on photo paper and painstakingly fitted them to the gun. Sexy nurse on one side and demure redhead on the other. PLUS, custom Savoy Leather holster and mag carrier for it. Savoy did not survive Covid (RIP Bros) and so this will never be made again. Green Open top canted belt OTW holster friction fit, with P40 theme shark mouth and eye, and WW2 aircraft insignia, aircraft panel and rivets embossing, Plus 2 mag carrier to match. The carrier got a small scuff on it during the most recent move. (I am Jack's broken heart) Pistol and leather, $1000.00 A real head turner combo. No one has anything like this. I had it made to my weird obsession du jour and waited months to get it. ***Star Megastar .45. Starvel Nickel finish. Stock except for orange paint in the front sight, and longer product improved safety/decock levers. I have the originals if you want them. Magazine safety removed. Can reinstall or tell you how. It's very easy. THREE Nickel factory magazines included. 12rds ea. Built like a tank. There aren't many parts for these but my advice is to SHOOT IT. It's a pussycat and a 3lb one at that! Star made ~5500 of these in .45 and <900 in 10mm. (Mags for these are obscene, usually 125-150 ea) My 10mm not for sale. The .45 is. $900.00 The 10mm ***Glock 20 in bizarre ATACs camo from Factory. I have box and manuals, GEN 4. Has spare backstraps, Came with 3 15rd mags, I have FOUR? more, never used, removed from packaging included, Replaced front sight with blank insert, mounted Swampfox Kingslayer on rear sight plate. Camo has texture like it was installed with a sponge. Really weird and unique. Johnny Glocks smooth short trigger with pretravel removed, lighter connector, Replaced black parts with Vickers dark FDE parts, pins,slide stop, mag release, takedown latch. Kyle Rittenhouse FAFO backplate A really interesting and capable hunting handgun. Fired <100x $900.00 I'll miss this one. Can only find 5 mags total. Maybe some got lost in the move. Or are in the box in the attic. The Stars, or to be more precise, STAR DA pistols with metal frames. It has been my intention for many years to do a series of videos on these interesting (to me) series of pistols and their evolution. Sadly Star as a company was killed by a combination of Socialist government meddling and the AWB 94, the one the serial sexual predator and rapist Billy Jeff Klintoon was so proud of. Sadly, I'll never get around to this. The time and expense to do it properly is just not something I have in great quantity. If such posterity is to be embarked upon, it should be done properly or not at all. And so, this sell off represents years of collecting the best I could find with the hopes of documenting them on video and talking about them at length. ***The Pioneer. Star 28M. Submitted for trials in the mid 80s, this was Stars effort to make a Wondernine. A non hammer drop safety, where the action still worked... (think .22 Firefly, or Walther P22, you engage the safety but the action still works, click click, hammer falls but FP is retracted.) ...was found to be disconcerting to most shooters. S&W 1st Gen dating from the mid-late 50s had trigger disconnect and hammer drop, so did the eventual winner, Beretta 92. This peculiarity is on ALL the Stars until the 31Ps which have a reversed slide mounted safety with a hammer drop feature. This pistol is a full size 15rd DA/SA handgun with adjustable rear and fixed front sight. It has Plum-ish bluing hues and the original hard plastic grips, which never survived a drop on a hard surface. These were replaced later by rubber grip panels with metal cores. Windage adjustible rear sight. This pistol is gorgeous tho. 28M marked, there are some "28DA" marked ones, they are identical guns. No mag safety, I can reinstall for collector purposes $600.00 ***The Standard bearer, Star 30MI Nickeled by Metalife. Bought this one cheap on GB, has some light pitting which was made more noticeable by nickel plating at Mahovsky's Metalife in PA. Did the magazine too. Small parts Cerakoted flat black. Windage adj rear sight. Action is REALLY smooth. No mag safety $480.00 ***The Road Dog, Star 28PK, compact alloy frame. Slightly smaller yet takes same 15rd mags. This 30M variant has some finish and frame wear but still 80%. For some stupid reason I ground on the mags for it and removed the ledge for the mag safety which has been removed. This was dumb. Not sure why I did it. I used to drink. I don't anymore. $380.00 ***La Policia, Star 30P, compact steel frame. A very rare variant, <900 made, the compact above with steel frame for Police service in Spain. 1 mag. Mag Safety intact. $500.00 ***The oddball. Star 31P, Starvel in .40 12rd with 2-11rd S&W 4006 mags modified to fit. A major design change. Notable for 2 big reasons. It was the ONLY metal frame DA/SA .40 ever made by Star. The Ultrastar was a single-stack polymer frame hammer fired gun and the Firestar was a heavy all steel single action carry pistol. This big boy was meant to be a duty gun. Hammer drop decocking slide mounted safety. HEAVY steel frame. Overbuilt. Mags are a problem. Unobtainium and plain enough to not be easily spotted. So I bought some 9 dollar 4006 mags from CDNN and modded them to remove a bump stamped into them (to preclude them from being put in 5906 guns) and a slight mod to the locking area and VOILA! 9 dollar mags for an obscure gun. Yay me. /rolls eyes How about i include 100 rounds of Syntech ball ammo and 59 rounds of Win HP ammo? Sure. $500.00 ***The Failed heir, Star 31P in Starvel. Really nice 9mm version. Includes nickel mag and box, still has warning tag on the trigger guard. Mag Safety intact. $500.00 ***The Plain heir, Star 31P blued. 1 mag. 9mm. $480.00 BUY EM ALL ($3500) and I'll include an out of print coffee table book "Star Firearms" by Leonardo M. Antaris. if you can find this book which covers Star pistols and the company's history from it's beginning to it's end, it's 300 dollars and up. You'll be lost for hours in this book. 630 color pages hundreds of detailed photos, pistols, SMGs, everything Star ever made and some stuff that never got produced., large format with cover. Exc condition. A couple more to add later. My eyes are burning and now I have to switch to phone to add pics.

The way I read it...TN CCW permit
MEGASTAR replied to MEGASTAR's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I found out why. To qualify as an exemption from NICS, the ATF, and this could be challenged under SCOTUS decision on Chevron Deferrence, has dictated that the issued permit, among other things... Require a NICS check before issuance. Not be valid for more than 5 years. It's my understanding that TNs permits are 8 years. AL and MI just had their permits added as exemptions from NICS. -

Only in TN, an otherwise mostly sane state, do they issue 2 types of USELESS carry permits, and neither are an exemption from NICS. AL and Mi permits are now exemptions from NICS DERP!

I have a NIB stoeger STR9. Like a glock clone with metal mags. 15rds. Plus some spare NIW mags. It's not held together with roll pins like a Dagger.
-
The firestar plus with impossible to find mags is alloy frame and was only mfgd in 9mm. I recently sold a Starvel PD and 3 factory Starvel mags. I tamed the recoil with a 20lb recoil spring. It was a 1990, last year, production where they eliminated that goofy overcomplicated rear sight and just used a Star 30M one. A very good move. I have no idea if even the heaviest 180gr .40 would cycle the massive slide of the Megastar.

Never underestimate Repugnitards' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. -
We can go shoot mine anytime you like. I have the Mega 10 and 45. Funny, they replaced the beautiful Star PD, which had an alloy frame with the Firestar which is an all steel anchor. I've seen .40 run in 10mm but why bother.

Having been in the NFA biz 1999-2017 I believe you to be utterly wrong. CNCd and printed cans are literally 25 dollar items. The only reason we have the most advanced silencers in the world, and not throwaway junk like everywhere else is precisely because of the onerous tax and registration scheme. The factory HK MP5SD can is some half assed bent sheet metal baffles in an aluminum tube. It's passed the House and those scumbags in the Senate have it now. LFG! -

If you wanna send me a PM and aren't too far away we can try out all my cans and maybe you'll hear something you like. I've always championed versatility. If we get the HPA can sales are gonna go nuts. And prices will plummet. -

This is a good beginner can that will do a lot of different things. Its a superior. 22LR thru magnum can, plus 5.7 rated to full auto. It's the size of a .22 can. Takes the BITE out of 5.56mm but not superior due to volume, as i stated. Easy disassemble using a quarter for the end cap. Priced about 500 bucks -

Anyone dealt with Silencer Central?
MEGASTAR replied to AuEagle's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
They are literally proven to give lobbyists 100s of thousands of dollars to stymie efforts to remove silencers from NFA categorization and taxes. NOT YOUR FRIENDS -
