Magnum Research is releasing a limited run of "classic" Desert Eagle pistols made with IWI parts from Isreal. This includes the original 2-piece barrel and "claw" safety, unlike the pistols made at the Magnum Research plant in Pillager, MN. Both .50 AE and .44 Magnum models will be offered, and they will be 100% parts-interchangeable with the regular Desert Eagle pistols with USA-made parts.

From the press release:

Both models are gas-operated, rotating bolt semiautomatic pistols constructed from a high quality carbon steel barrel, frame and slide. Both have a 6" barrel length and 10.75" overall length with 6.25" height and 1.25" slide width. These pistols have a trigger reach of 2.75" and approximately a 4lb. trigger pull with fixed combat type sights and an 8.5" sight radius. The .50 AE model, the DE50W, has a .495? bore diameter, polygonal rifling with 1:19 right hand twist and 7 round magazine capacity. The .44 Magnum model, the DE44W, has a .492" bore diameter, polygonal rifling with 1:18 right hand twist and 8 round magazine capacity. Barrels between the .44 Magnum and .50AE are interchangeable.

Mark XIX Desert Eagle Pistols and parts produced in the USA and Israel are completely interchangeable on either gun.
