Did you buy yours from P&S Guns and Militaria? Is, in your opinion, the windage adjustable rear sight worth the extra $49+tax?
Thanks. Now I have clarity who distributed those with the windage adjustable rear sights.
Today, for the first time I decided to clean the magazines for my Star B Modelo Super. A lot of crap inside, particularly, on the mag spring. Some old cosmoline partly hardened. Cleaned everything with Ballistol and then lightly soaked with Ballistol. Now they work impeccably. Disassembly procedure of the mags is very simple. Just push the button going through the mag cover and slide the cover off slowly but be careful and hold the small piece of steel on the spring (under the cover) to fly away together with the spring.
The more I use my Star B Super the more I'm impressed with the thoughtfulness of its design. Very good engineering team who designed it. Field striping procedure for cleaning (including mags) is so easy.
I advise whoever owns the Star B Super to clean the mags. You'll see a great difference.

Thanks for clarifying the issue! Now, it looks that only Tradeex and Weimajack had a few Stars B Super with the adjustable sights. Strangely enough if most of them have fixed rear sights where did those with the adjustable ones come from? They don't seem to be typical military issue pistols.
Try to clean up your mags, like I mentioned in my post above #163. I cleaned the mags around 6 months after purchasing my Star and they were pretty dirty inside. Quite a bit of old cosmoline embedded on the spring and other places.Quote Originally Posted by cornelunc View Post

Interesting a nivkel Super B was used in Pulp Fiction by Travolta, not a chrome 1911 like everyone thinks.

You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened... or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the Fxck on! Tupac Shakur
