Star form Phelps Engineering East Orange N>J

[glfike]

I have an older Star 38 set up mad in Orange N.J.
Would like to convert to 45 ACP. Can any one help with this, and is it possible to convert this machine.  It appears that it could be , because it has a a shell holder that can be reversed to either the 38 or 45.

Thanks
Gary

It depends.  Just like Star made a Progressive and a Universal model, Phelps made a Standard and a Deluxe model.   Like the Progressive, the Phelps Standard model can only load 38 Special.   The Deluxe and Universal models can load any pistol caliber as long as you have the appropriate dies and shell plate.

Take a look at this discussion to see the difference between the machines.
