Desert Eagle FULL Reassembly

[@JuanLopez-ou7rl]

Saw both of your videos and gotta say the are both the best on KZbin bar none! Thanks!

[@vtxrecruiter]

Thanks for making this awesome tutorial!!! Its as good as any armorer's course I have taken.

[@IWestexI]

@@vtxrecruiter My pleasure. Thanks for the kind words.

[@richosburn]

Again, thank you very much. Very generous of you to make these videos to help others. Cheers!

[@IWestexI]

You're welcome.

By far the most well filmed assembly on the DE. I had a curveball taking mine apart. It was a California version so there are two pins on the firing pin stop plate. You need to depress the lower pin which will allow the firing pin to depress.

[@IWestexI]

I've never seen that. Makes sense that California would require extra steps to make a built in safety feature more safe to please the crown prince Governor McSaferson. Thanks for the comment and sharing about this new variation.

[@lear60man]

@@IWestexI My pleasure, its actually a nice piece of engineering.....that is worthless. Stumped me for a while, but apparently you can order a normal firing pin plate for maximum freedom.

[@IWestexI]

@@lear60man lol. Yes it is time to maximize your freedom my friend.

You are a great teacher! 👌👌👌

Thank you so much El Gallo Decente.

Fantastic Video helped a loong way

[@IWestexI]

Thank you. Glad I could help.

[@aztecsec]

Thanks much.

[@thomasw.6945]

perfetly informat8ve and descriptive (little paiful slow for me) thanks for detailed view into deagle...

[@IWestexI]

Thanks for the honest feedback.

[@IWestexI]

It's a pleasure to help

En su opinión, ¿este carro fue fabricado íntegramente con fresa o con polvo de acero prensado y cocido porque no parece fresado?

[@IWestexI]

@@thommylee81 Sorry but I only speak English and don't understand.

[@mateusdefaria6965]

Had an issue after reassembly where pulling my slide to the rear doesn't cause the slide catch to drop and the slide to be released, i have to manually push down/disengage the slide catch to release the slide. Bent slide catch spring?

[@IWestexI]

Yes that is possible.

[@casey1167]

What have you found to be the parts that need to be replace? I was thinking of getting parts....

[@IWestexI]

Probably you'll only need an extractor polymer spring. Have a couple on hand. They are easy to lose and can deform/weaken over time.

[@casey1167]

@@IWestexI Thanks. I somehow lost the gas piston... and at $35 not a cheep little part. I will get some of the extractor springs on my next order. Have a great day.

[@AgoristAlex]

Thank You

[@IWestexI]

My pleasure.

[@TRaider66]

Great video! Thank you for this. I have a .50 and just bought a brand new .44. The new .44 will eject the spent casing but not grab the next round. The slide is closed after firing a round however so it leads me to believe the slide isn’t being pushed back far enough from the recoil. Another tidbit is that .44 is harder to pull the slide back on then the .50 which I would assume should be opposite if any difference at all. I just swapped the springs on them and hope to test soon. Have you seen this? I only use factory mags btw. Thanks in advance!

[@IWestexI]

Thanks for the comment. You have to hold and shoot the DE different than any other pistol. You have to hold the frame still and it's difficult to do with all that recoil. Try locking your elbows and wrist. This should stop the short strokes.

[@TRaider66]

@@IWestexI Yes I understand as I have had many over the years. The .50 doesn’t do it. I initially wondered if it was exactly what you mentioned. However, I recorded slow motion myself and 3 others shooting the .44, all with minimal muzzle rise and the same results. My previous .44, same chrome finish never had this issue even when my wife shot full mags through it.

[@IWestexI]

Thanks for clearing that up. It might be your feed ramp or maybe not hot enough loads. I'd have to see it in person to be sure.

[@dirtydeagle9938]

The color on the frame is very nice what is that color

[@IWestexI]

Thanks for the comment. I think it was cerakote in gunmetal gray.

[@og4l978]

Ótimo vídeo! Pena que o vídeo está sem legenda em português, mas mesmo assim deu pra aprender a montagem. 😀😉👍

[@IWestexI]

Obrigado pelas palavras amáveis. Fico feliz que meu vídeo tenha ajudado você, apesar da barreira do idioma.

[@TreeOfLifeCG]

First.

[@IWestexI]

Thanks for your help.
