Which Desert Eagle Barrel?

[rimfire78]

Magnum Research recently unveiled a new barrel design with rails running along the length of the top. The old design only had two slots for mounting optics (or a rail mount).
Which one do you think looks better, rails or no rails?

New

Old

Old. The new barrels reminds me of companies trying to go "tactical" with too much rail.

Exactly. The old one got the job done and still looked clean.

I agree

[rimfire78]

Good thing. I think I found the last one this side of the Mississippi.

O L D ! ...... I would never trade mine in for a newer one!

The one that goes on a 1911

I wonder if they make an accessory that can join two picatinny surfaces. That way you can attach your pistol to the handguard of an AR and use it as a VFG. That would be good for some laughs.

Mine's got the old style! Looks nice and clean too. Trying to figure out a way to gold plate it.

Magnum Research will plate your gun. It takes up to 3 months to get it back though.
