Received a BKS that I accidentally bought at auction, and find it has an aftermarket magazine, appears to be the type Numrich sells with the funky looking follower.

I noted that some sellers of BKS/Starlight mags show them to be the same as BM & BKM, while other vendors show the BKS as proprietary. Found an old message here that was on subject and purports them to be the same. I'd like a second, third or even tenth opinion on that from those that have had both. Anyone?

Anyone ever done a chart on B-series Magazines? It would seem to me that a BS mag ought to be the same as the newer style B mag, but I haven't a clue. Anyone know?

I gather that at least BM and BKM share the same magazine.

I see B Super mags sold as proprietary as well.

Generally speaking, are their other Star B-series guns that share the same magazine with another model other than those listed above?

B - old style mag
B - new style mag
BS - ?
BM - same as BKM
BKM - same as BM
BKS - ?
B-Super - ?
etc.

TIA,
SlimTim

Per Antaris pg 485 of Star Firearms regarding the BM/BKM.

"The height and position of the magazine release were left unchanged, allowing interchangeable use of the BKS magazine."

I have both the BM and BKM. I interchange mags with out any problems. The factory mags have beautiful curved chrome followers that I really like.

Well, at least we know the BKS mags can be used in the BM and BKM as Antaris = 10 opinions at least! I know it would usually follow that the reverse is true, but too many times I've found it not so.

Thanks,
