44mg Desert Eagle

[vorpar]

If I remember correctly, there is a price break on a new black oxide DE that is equivalent to the price of refinishing. About $300 if you send it to MRI.

Just checked the website: Black oxide - $1440, Chrome - $1730

So youd just pay the diff?

You should just send it back to the factory. They will ensure/guarantee the gun still works propery after the refinishing and your warranty will not get voided.

No dis is not my first gun. I've had a glock 22, hi point 380, 38 snub, and some bootleg a** 9mm. I've just picked up my first gun in CA. First of my new collection, HK usp 40. About da Eagle, Mag Res says, 90-120 days for refinishing. Probly end up doin it that way. While waiting for 30days to pass, im gon pick up a consignment Glock31 and send that to Robar. Probly pick up a shotty too. I don't kno much bout em. I want a Serbu super shorty but i think that's illegal in CA. I like the "contemporary" guns, sort a speak. Recommendations???

Does anyone know the difference between the polished chrome and the polished nickel? Is one stronger/better then the other?

Every now and then I see a post that is so awesome, I think to myself, "There is no way this guy is for real."

I'm really undecided here. Either way, this is probably one fo the best posts I have ever read on the entire internet.

Seems like two different people. In another post the OP seemed to do a lot better. Looks like the OP switched to ebonics mid thread.

Hard chrome is better in protecting your gun from corrosion and wear.

I just ordered a 44mg desert eagle today from a dealer. We tried to get it in brushed/polished chrome but it seemed that it wasn't possible in CA. At least in Orange County. So, I ordered it in black oxide. I know I can get a conversion kit so i can have a 50ae eagle but what can I do about the finish???

Contact Magnum Research and arrange to send it to them for refinishing. IIRC, turn-around time on mine was about 5 weeks and about $275 for brushed chrome. They also include refinishing one magazine as well.

I personally think the polished nickel is more "mirror-like" than the polished chrome. Both are too "blingy" for me though. Don't know about stronger/better finish. If it's properly maintained, you don't need to worry.

Most electroless nickle plating has a hardness of RC50, while hard chrome is tested at RC65 to 68. Only drawback with hard chroming will be on cast metals becoming brittle if the company doing it doesn't know what they're doing. I had a cast receiver that I sent to get hard chromed, the company said they have done many guns. Well, the friggin frame cracked. I'd say let Magnum Research do it or someone like Tech Plate or Metaloy do it. I've had Tech Plate do one of my raceguns, although they did a superb job they did not see a flaw in the brush finish, but ended up showing really bad after hard chroming.

Unless it's just plain not allowed to be purchased in CA.

You can order it in any color you like; as long as it's black.


I'd sent it to MR to have them refinish it. DEs are worth enough IMHO to avoid a refinish that could compromise its strength.
