You've probably figured out that your benefactor was a cheap skate. All of these guns are low-grade budget items from the 1970s and early 80s. If this person had been accumulating guns today, they'd own Hi-Point, Jimenez, Heritage and Phoenix arms. I guess I'm a total dick for pointing this out but I hope you take this as a warning to check all the guns out pretty carefully before you start firing them. Chances are they're all low-mileage samples and in good operating condition, but look them over well . . . the Llama and Star are probably fairly decent guns but certainly the low-cost options of their day. You should be able to buy 8mm ammo at any well-stocked gun store or at online sellers like AIM (see the ad banner at the top of this page). |

Buy some Wolf or PPU brass case modern ammo and then start reloading.

I'm not saying to use Ruger proof loads in it but I have shot some hot loads and it handled it well. I would have everything checked out first before you fire it as well. |

Star made good quality handguns, nothing wrong there, parts might be hard to find though, if you ever need any.
