    Hello all! New to GB, and I have to say, so far I like what I've seen. That being said, I'll get to the point. I'm VERY interested in Desert Eagles, and I was wondering what should I be looking for and taking into consideration when making a buying decision? Israeli-made vs. American-made? Not worried about anything cosmetic, just basically design, make, and functionality issues. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    I was just offered a Desert Eagle in 44mag in like new condition ( I have not seen it yet) without the original box, just the gun. It is offered to me for $800.00 does that seem like a fair price?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ed

    Hello everyone. I am looking to purchase a desert eagle 50 AE. I was just wondering the pros and cons of this gun. Should I buy one or get something else?
    Thanks.

    About a year ago I purchased a new Desert Eagle in .44mag from a small gunshop in Texas. The gun is marked Made In Israel. My friends tell me that makes it more valuable. Why is that so? Also I have yet to see another one for sale that says Made In Israel. Where are they now made? My gun is blued, what is it worth? It is still in new condition,with a hard case, a manual, and gas port cleaning tool.

    I have a Desert Eagle in .44 mag that keeps coming apart when fired.

    The firing pin, firing pin spring, bolt stabilizing pin, spring and guide, bolt guide pin and firing pin stop all fall out of the gun, leaving the bolt stuck in the barrel with a live round inside.

    Anyone know why this keeps happening, and how to fix it ?

    This was picked up on a trade, and now I have an idea why the guy traded it [}:)]

    I'm interested in a DE I saw for sale. Is the Mark XIX the only series that has interchangable barrels? The Magnum site only lists .357, .44 & .50 as available calibers. I know they used to make a .41, but didn't they make a .440 Cor-Bon as well?

    There are several threads herre pertaining to the DE. If you use the search function and type in Desert Eagle, I am sure you will find some. Most say they are very accurate, big and bulky, and almost impossible to carry.

    Best

    I've got one, it is a beast but is awesome fun at the range. Ammo is very expensive so I suggest learing to reload if you don't already.
