im lookin at getting a desert eagle, a guy here has a .44 mag and im wanting to know if it can be converted to the .50. i know the rime size is the same on both rounds. so can i swap barels and mags and shoot .50?

 

The older DE no, the newer ones yes, but good luck find a 50 AE upper

 

so i would have to swap the whole upper. alright. well let me ask your opinion. this guys got a this DE for 900 bucks, excelent condition 2 mags, and shoulder and hip holster. do you think thats worth getting, or should i wait and try to find a .50 for a good price

 

For $900, and the price of getting a .50 upper, you're probably better off just waiting for a good deal on a .50. I had a buddy of mine get one for about $1200.

 

ya, i just checked it out, nice pistol. its the mrk 7. great condition. i told the guy id take, so hes holding it til next week. 44s cheaper to shoot than 50 anyways. thanks for the help guys.

 

The 44 MAGNUM can do it all

 

TBH, I've fired both, and I prefer the .44. I can fire it for a lot longer before I say, alright, I'm done.

 

With the 44 MAGNUM, YOU'LL HAVE more ammo options, easier to find ammo, & cheaper ammo.

 

ya, i lied to you guys. its a mrk 1, older than i thought it was, but in great shape. i got some monies rounded up today and got her picked up.

 

Let us know how you like it.
