Title: Powder Slides Identification
Post by: FOR_Star on October 17, 2015, 12:49:03 pm

I recently acquired a couple of powder slides.  From the appearance/style of a given slide can the actual manufacturer be determined?
For example, in the picture the 3.0 Gr BE slide looks like other genuine Star slides that I have, but the 3.9 gr slide isn't made quite the same.  Is this a Phelps slide, or is it possible to tell?  Are there any known differences in quality or performance for slides not made by Star Machine Works?

Greetings,

The top one, with only one chamfer, is similar to all the Phelps slides I have encountered.

Both work in my machines.

Cheers,

Dave
