Here's what you are looking for (I think). But not cheap!

I see what you mean. It shouldn’t be a difficult job to recut the threads or rebush for available screws. If you can find screws from a M-1911 and they turn out to be slightly larger in diameter you’d only have to ream out and retap the threads. The Model B is basically a metric copy.

Check Ron Petersons Guns on Central in Albuquerque NM.

Google or we can get number from slim maybe.

He had the number tattooed on bottom of his foot next to th medical school cadaver tag. So I was told...

It is fairly easy to make a replacement screw. You will need a metric (in this case) tap and die set. a rod of soft wood such as pine and a dremel tool.

First of all find a bolt which the head is larger than the screw to be replaced. Take the small piece of wood and whittle it down to where it is just a tiny bit larger than the screw hole. Turn that wood into the hole then ease it out. Then take the screw thread gauge which will come with the tap and die set and determine the thread pitch.

Then measure the diameter of the screw threads, that is outside not inside. Simply take the dremel tool and cut the bolt down to that size except of course leaving the head alone. Once it is to the desired size, take a die and cut the correct threads which you already have measured. If you have an old screw you can get the pitch from it even easier.

You then use the dremel tool with a cut off wheel to reduce the size of the head until it matches the original. Then cut a slot perfectly centered in the head for the screwdriver. Start thin and widen a bit if necessary.

You may have to get a set of grips with the screws, but the good news is, the new stocks are just drop-dead beautiful! Info for you: *Star 1*

In the event the server's down, there's a cached file *here*.

I have just acquired 25 sets of grip screws for Star pistols from Spain. They are the short screws for the late model guns so you may have to drill the holes a little deeper or just have about half enough threads in the gun on the A&B models. New screws are almost impossible to find so I take what I can get. If you buy grips and screws from me I will make sure that the grips are cut for them. They will be $15.00 per set of 4.
