Survey Says... / Re: receiving parts from the NEW Star
« Last post by tony barone on March 31, 2020, 01:43:14 pm »Bill was a nice guy but Bruce is unequaled in carrying on the Star. The Star is still a great machine even in todays market. I have loaded 280,000 rounds on my 1986 Star never had a squib or a bad primer seating and never had a bad round. Every round is perfect and never had to case gauge . My Star has all of the MA System attachments and is still fun to operate. Have loaded primarily .38 Supercomp for USPSA.

Brass will not gall in the Zinc powder slide housing. Aluminum will.

I guess you could call it the New New Star now. Bill Cunningham of Pioneer California purchased the Star reloader business from San Diego back in 1997. In Late 2014 I purchased the business from Bill and moved it to New Jersey. I have pretty much every part for Star reloaders in stock and I'm shipping orders everyday. I also offer some aftermarket products like case feeder and collators. I also repair and rebuild Star reloaders and offer rebuilt machines for sale. If you need something, send me an email or give me a call.

I'm confused about this forum. No one has replied to this topic for thirteen years??? Is this "New Star" business still in operation? Where do people find parts these days other than on the buy/sell topic?

What's Happening at StarReloaders.com / Email Addresses Not Displayed
« Last post by starrel on March 28, 2020, 12:00:21 am »You might have noticed that this forum does not permit email addresses to be displayed in forum posts or in other member's profiles. This is done to avoid having the forum scraped for email addresses of our members. It reduces spam and load on the server.
In most cases, communications are best done in the forum or directly between members. Because this forum is open and allows everyone to view the content, we limit what is displayed. Those who sign up as members have the option to send personal messages and email via the forum (and are subject to forum rules should they get out of hand or abuse other members with spam). Some members would like to be able to show their email addresses and are surprised when the forum obscures them.
Should you choose to publicly display your email address for everyone in the world to see, you can do it using a non-standard format such as:
showmyemail [at] somefakedomain[dot] com -- please remove all spaces and replace [at] with the at symbol and [dot] with a period character.
In the example above, a human reader should be able to interpret what is written and figure out the correct e-mail address. Note, the address is not valid.
