08/10/2009: "Printed Manuals Now Available!"
Finally, I have a good excuse for no visible updates. I have been gathering up the manuals into one location, and making them formatted for printing.
This not 100% done. Shortly, instead of spread all around, every manual will be stored in one place and (as well as accessed from each relevant firearm page) will be listed in the table here:
http://star-firearms.com/firearms/manuals/index.shtml
That way, in the very likely case we don't have the right manual, you can make a good guess as to which one to download instead.
More exciting, I think, is the printed version. There's now a nice, spiral bound (so it lays flat and you don't fight it while handling the gun) version of every manual I have for handguns (I figured there aren't too many SMG owners) in either color or economy black & white editions. At 277 pages, if you are a Star owner, you probably want one of these.
Buy the color edition now 227 pages $59.95
Buy the black & white edition now 227 pages $19.95
The PDF manuals for download will remain at full resolution, and totally free. I take a few bucks off the top of each book sale, but as with the T-shirts and donations, this is for site upkeep. I'll lower prices a bit if I sell so many I don't know what to do with the money. Again, like the T-shirts, almost all of the price you pay is for the product itself, so there's only so much I can do about that.
No, this is not complete. And I need your help to complete it. I am desperate for a Megastar manual, and now realize I don't have a good Super manual. If I cannot find one, I will be happy enough making one myself. So, anyone in the KC metro area with a Super, tell me and maybe we can meet and I'll take lots of notes and photos, and just make a maintenance guide of sorts.
