Ok /k/

My neighbor came to me and would like me to try and fix his gun chambered in .40. It says "firestar" on the slide, and he told me the brand was "Spanish Star". Never heard of it before. The slide won't move and is completely stuck, and he managed to get the cleaning rid stuck in the barrel.
Any tips?
>>
assuming theres no round in the chamber, have you tried dry firing it?
>>
>>34850099
Post pics.
So the slide is stuck and there's a rod stuck in the barrel? I would clamp the rod into a bench vise and try to pull the gun off of the rod.
>>
>>34850099
Pull the cleaning rod out and see what is going on in the barrel, my bet is stuck case, in which case pour oil down the thing and try to punch it out with a brass rod.

Fuck, I asked him if there was a round in the chamber and he said "I'm pretty sure there isn't." Took off the slide, aaaaand I'm pretty fucking sure it is loaded. Fuck

tell your neighbor to stop being a kike, did you get the cleaning rod out?

>aluminum case
my 'neighborhood color' was firing off rounds for 4th of july down the street. The next day I walked by and there were multiple unfired aluminum cased 9mm laying on the ground. Maybe 20-30 shots went off, and they had multiple failures with that shit.

Anon, I don't have any advice really, aside from 'be careful'. For all we know, the firing pin is resting against it's primer and any jolt could set it off.
>>
>>34850209
Oh, nvm. Glad there's no round in there.

OP THAT GUN IS LITERALLY A TICKING TIME BOMB! HOLY SHIT! HOLY FUCK! GENTLY SET IT ON THE GROUND POINTING AWAY FROM ANYTHING YOU CARE ABOUT AND CALL THE BOMB SQUAD NOW! I REPEAT, CALL THE BOMB SQUAD NOW!
I am literally shitting my pants thinking about how much danger OP is in!
>>
Take the barrel off the slide and pound out the case with a wood dowel.
>>
so did you just muscle the slide off?
>>
>>34850218
Sig defensive ammo uses aluminium cases, it's fine.

Ok, I think it has something to do with the extractor maybe? When I put the slide on and rack it, the chamber doesn't open.
Thoughts?
>>
>>34850267
Remove the spring guide and then pull the barrel down and out of the slide. You should be able to slide the barrel and stuck case from the slide. Once you remove the barrel, you can punch out the case.
>>
>literally a STAR FIRESTAR
heh
>>
>>34850292
How to remove it? Only pistols I've handled so far are a makarov and some revolvers. Haven't dealt with automatics yet

Sig uses nickel plated brass just like everyone else.
>>
>>34850322
see the end of the guide rod/spring that is visible in the last pic you posted? Push that in, toward the muzzle (away from the part of the barrel it is pressed up agains) just a bit, and pull the guide rod and spring down away from the gun. Should come right out.
>>
>>34850213
Heeey, its not his fault for not quickly researching what hes working on, but instead directly went to /k/.
>>
>>34850322
See the piece of plastic enclosed by a spring underneath the barrel? Push the plastic piece to the right (toward the business end of the slide) and then pull it down off the barrel. Remove it, then the barrel should freely move. Push the barrel to the right slightly, then down and out of the slide.
>>
>>34850099
From the company's site, just so you know:
>On some Star pistols, notably the Firestar series, it's moderately common to get the takedown pin inserted improperly, so that the gun will not function and cannot apparently be stripped again. Reader Jeffery Simmons documented his solution to it and has shared it. Hold the trigger and hammer both fully to the rear. While this is happening (get a helper if you need) pull the slide back while lightly pushing the takedown pin right to left until it goes back far enough it comes out and remove the slide as normal.

And here's the manual:

Problem solved.
Casing was stuck in the chamber, snacking the barrel with a wrench dislodged it.

Thanks a bunch my dudes

Good job OP, tell your neighbor to stop being a cheap cunt.

not OP, but there might be something else going on. I've shot thousands of rounds of that shitty aluminum cased ammo and never had one get stuck.

OP here
Judi
Just got done talking to my neighbor after giving him his fixed pistol.
He said he found this .25 ACP pistol in his closet while cleaning one day, and then he just gave it to me. No mag tho, but pretty fucking nice of him.
Thanks neighbor

Anyone know where I can find a mag for this? Says "Titan cal..25" on it

too late. he already fixed and gave it back to jamal.
jamal was kind enough to give OP a stolen gun with no """clip""" as a token of his gratitude.

Titans are okay pistols, .25 is kind of expensive for what it is but a gun is a gun, congrats.

eBay or Gunbroker, you'll pay around 20-35 for a mag. They're on the higher end of SNS type pistols. I've carried one for years.

>>34851719
funny... I saw these guns on pol earlier when browsing for news on the Virginia riots... looks like OP has some explaining to do...

>>34852063
I have to star model BM and although it isn't a sns, it leaves a lot to be desired. the slide has a hairline fracture on the safety groove and sometimes the pin works it way out while shooting. one I shot a round and when the slide cycled, the pin fell out and the whole slide assembly flew about 7 feet down range.
>>
>>34853238
>I saw these guns on pol earlier

I searched the /pol/ archive for the filename and the image hash and didn't find it either way.
>>
>>34851525
Heh, those things are fun.

In my younger years I used to know a heroine dealer who carried one of those in his sock.

He brought it to me one day and asked for help making it cycle, apparently it jammed on him when he fired a couple shots during a deal-turned-robbery.

I filed down the slide in a few places and gave it a deep cleaning,then dunked it in hydrogen peroxide then rubbing alcohol to rid any of my DNA from the parts.

I tested it, worked great afterwards.

Stars, save for some of the smaller B and P series, are pretty good. They're somewhat hampered by being made before Mec-Gar started making better-than-OEM mags for everything, though

This is an FIE Titan, they work okay. My grandfather used to carry one with a gold foil wrapped slide, saved his life one time from a gang of califag teenagers when he was out of state working construction
