The Desert Eagle

Ammo use.

feeds@yuku.com (deagle) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 06:04:23 GMT

I've found that now that my D E functions properly( not missfeeding, not jamming, failing to return to battery etc.) I use much more ammo. The old way with all the problems I would quickly become annoyed and quit shooting thus using less ammo. I do prefer that it works well now but the costs to play are mounting. I guess it's time to consider reloading.

Whats a .50AE with these days?

feeds@yuku.com (Maaso) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:55:33 GMT

THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE AD!

Just wondering what it's worth?

Black Oxide, 6" with Hogue grips. Less than 40 rounds and I'm guessing about ~99% condition. Only flaw is a mar on the slide from where the safety leaves a mark when you engage and disengage it. Comes complete with one mag, factory hard case, owners manual, some stickers, multi-tool, and the factory fired shell.

I'm going to need to put a tranny in my truck here very soon, and this...

surface bubbling appearance of outer barrel casting

feeds@yuku.com (seed) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:50:29 GMT

As I have learned on this forum, the barrel is a three piece design. Well, I have noticed that on my Mark XIX .44, the portion of the barrel assembly where the rounds and the lugs enter (around the inside and on the outside face ahead of the actual chamber) appears to have been cast. And this casting has imperfections that appear to be signs of a sort of bubbling during the the final stages of the casting process on the surfaces. You can't see it until you camber the gun, lock open the...

Thanks, Joel

not DE sorry 10mm Glock

feeds@yuku.com (Tinmancr) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:14:23 GMT

I work with a guy who has a 10mm glock he says he shoots .40s in it seems like way to much difference to me.
this is funny because I know another guy who has a .45acp and shoots it and .45gl in it.
are these glocks really that good, I know for a fact the little .40s won't handle 10mm as they are not even rated for buffalo bore ammoand would be totally uncontrollable. "barrel not fully supported"
I got rid of mine or I would figure this out the old fashioned way....

Prvi Partizan ammo

feeds@yuku.com (seed) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 04:22:26 GMT

My first post here... Has anyone tried Prvi Partizan ammo in their Eagle? Specifically, I am wondering about their 240 JHP, but am interested in your experience using any of their ammo.

I recently sent my Desert Eagle back to Magnum Research for warrantee repair. I listed the issues I've been having, the slide would not stay locked back without the magazine, the saftey became loose with every outing, my issues in trying to find ammo it liked. etc. Anyways it came back today I guess just short of 3 weeks. I've yet to get out to fire it but it appears they replaced every spring, machined the approach where the bullet slides, replaced my wooden grips ( they said they...

Does someone mind taking their titanium gold fiddy and swapping in their black slide onto it if you got one? Then snap a couple photos for me? Thanks!

Cost of a reloading kit and what is involved.

feeds@yuku.com (NL226) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:17:13 GMT

I am considering reloading my own .50s and I am wondering what the expected price should be for a kit and what I need to have in order to reload. Any help is appreciated. If anyone's already written alot about this in the past linking the topic would be great. Thanks!

Titanium Gold or Polished Hard Chrome?

feeds@yuku.com (EaglePoint5oh) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:13:26 GMT

I'm trying to decide on which finish to get. I know hard chrome is said to be very durable, but what about the titanium gold? I almost hate having so many finish choices from Magnum Research just because I can't make up my mind! I was thinking along the lines of either a Titanium Gold or Hard Chrome .50 with a Black Chrome slide. Thoughts? Adam

LOTS of questions regarding purchasing a Desert Eagle - any help greatly appreciated!

feeds@yuku.com (jaypandolfo) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:52:57 GMT

Hello,

Being a huge semi-automatic handgun enthusiast, I've decided to take the huge step of adding the monster .50 AE Desert Eagle to my collection in the next month or two. I have several questions about the gun, what to look out for when shopping around, and how the gun itself works.

1.) Is the barrel of the Mk. VII interchangeable with different caliber barrels like the Mk. XIX, and are there any differences between the .50 AE Mk. VII and .50AE Mk. XIX?

Desert Eagle Magazine Lips?

feeds@yuku.com (NL226) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 22:07:27 GMT

I am having problems with my Desert Eagle feeding poorly whenever I pull back the slide to load a shell, or even push the lever to rack it. I pull the slide back, release, and very often the bullet wedges upright stuck between the bolt and the chamber. I have heard of bent magazine lips causing this sort of thing, is that possible in this case? This is getting pretty aggrevating - so help is much appreciated! I can post any pictures of the magazine or gun if nescessary....

Spoiled by the Eagle

feeds@yuku.com (Cobra428) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 08:03:21 GMT

A little while ago I took out the .50 Eagle again for some range fun. This time I used the Magna-ported 10" barrel. This setup was awesome! Not only was there practically no muzzle flip (recoil was a softer, straight back force - almost TOO pleasant), but shooting this combo gave me NO ejected shells in the face! This was a lot of fun for sure, glad I made it out to try.

So last week I...

Another Newbie on the forums

feeds@yuku.com (Dragon Talon TSi AWD) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:57:34 GMT

I am still trying to find another DE forum, and this one is pretty good so far. I have a .50AE DE, and I have the Hogue grips already, and I have been doing some more research, and I would like to get the trigger stop from IMI or any trigger job for that matter. I would also like to get a frame laser/laser grip for my DE. And another one, the F/R Millet sights. I know alot of this stuff is on back order/ hard to find, but my list isn't impossible. Any help guys? Thanks again...

Newbie to forum and the DE:

feeds@yuku.com (bzeola) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:16:02 GMT

Hi all! This is a great forum on the DE! I have been browsing around alot,picking up what i can. But being a newbie to the DE,i have a few questions. I am trying to decide between a NEW MKXIX in either 357 or 44. I was leaning towards the 357. But,generally speaking,is it true that the 357 mkxix is more picky ammo wise,compared to the 44? Regardless what ammo is used. Also,is the 357 better suited,more accurate,for target shooting,than the 44? No offense to any owners here intended. I...

They are precision machined from aircraft aluminum stock, then anodized for a durable finish. We...
