    Evening Stuart,
    Rest assured it come to a good home it's here to stay with me and be used and looked after. It's an absolute gem and very easy to shoot. Did you work on the trigger as I've heard that they were quite crude but it's very light and predictable for a single stage.
    I can tell you looked after it as the bluing is very good still, the only thing I'm going to do is to refinish the stock to oil and I'll need to replace the bolt Oring....dom

    I did make a trigger spring from some correct size spring steel and it has worked ok for years, the bolt o ring is change by removing the barrel this gives plenty of room to refit a new one to the bolt, sorry I can't remember the size.

    I’ve got an M400 Thumbhole, the trigger is indeed crude but the feel is far better than the visual impression would suggest.

    Crude doesn't really cover it, when I took off the trigger guard while trying to work out what does what I nearly fell off the stool, the trigger is pivoted through side of the guard !!!!. But it is very predictable with no creep at all.
    Not sure what's original in mine though as Stuart has done things inside

    I have always liked the look of the Starfire and bobcat Rifles that Alros made.
    I had the m400 Trailsman, m400 shadow, but still have a regular Trailsman in. 177.

    Hello all, I’ve acquired a Starfire that has all the aforementioned ailments, including stock needing a refresh, reseal, and the barrel has been cut down also…

    Is there a place to start with the strip down? Or possibly a guide somewhere? I’m keen to get it right but don’t want to rush in

    Thanks
