Обратная реставрация берется ствол в местной оружейке, ушатанный ,по большой скидке , снимается финал , а потом оружие поливается кислотой и оставляется поржаветь чуть чуть , и потом снимается героическое восстановление ,да так хорошо что аж после кислоты и от пескоструя и славной покраски все буквы и цифры на корпусе не с закругленными контурами а четкие прям магия .
Wherever it sat and rusted, it didn't sit long. Paint was still on the safety and the the original finish was taken off beforehand. Maybe to allow for the rust to set in quick. Ive own 2 of these... 50AE and .357. They're super nice.
I always suspect those restoration video makers to purposely age a perfectly good piece of equipment to shoot the video they have in mind. How can a desert eagle be in this condition? Heavy surface rust but no damage to tiny parts?
@@blacksitetactical idk just how bad it is but ik it's pretty bad so if someone just grabbed it to be cool and couldn't handle it it would still make sense
Nice job. Only criticisms: 1. If it had been me, I would have cold blued vs cerakoat if you were going to go back to a dark color. Cold bluing doesn't change the tolerances, but it worked out fine for you. Just personal preference there I suppose. 2. The barrel probably needs to be replaced (or relined). Even in the after photo, it's really bad. Not your fault, just some damage can't be reversed. It'll shoot way better once you do.
For sure agree with the barrel that looks dangerous and cold bluing isn’t very durable it comes off pretty easily so just handling it would rub it away quickly
Cold bluing offers zero protection to the metal and you’ll likely end up under tolerance from polishing the surface. If an expert Cerakote applicator, tolerance will be the same or better after Cerakote application since the surface is blasted first. You can get a nice tight fit if wanted by applying full thickness on the grooves and lands and working it with a rubbing compound. TL;DR: Cold bluing not a great option. Cerakote can be applied without affecting critical dimensions. Bore is in okay condition. Does not have grooves that many are accustomed to. Source: almost 30 years experience as a gunsmith/restoration specialist and certified Cerakote applicator.

He purposefully strips them of their coating/bluing and oil and places them in an oxidizing solution to artificially corrode them, then "restores" them.
For those saying the rifling is gone on this barrel, it isn't. These use what is called "polygonal rifling" instead of the sharp lands and grooves you are probably used to seeing in more traditionally rifled barrels. The flats and valleys are much less pronounced and are smooth, making it look almost like a smoothbore with a strange twist to the reflections through the barrel. That said this barrel does have some decent pitting thats not great.
Thank you. I saw that immediately myself. But there are plenty of so-called "experts" who can't tell a firing pin retaining pin from a forward assist, and insist that any Kalashnikov design is an "AK47".
Ну да, испоганить вещь, а потом чинить её, почему бы и да, от меня дизлайк за то что зассал отделку рукоятки заговнячить, явно заранее снимал прежде, чем подвергать коррозии
That rifling looked pretty rough even after it was cleaned. I wonder how far off the accuracy was. Awsome restoraton. Wonder how much a new set of springs and a barrel is.
That rough texture is exactly what modders want their guns to look like in Fallout and other games. You should scan all surfaces before and after you restore. This one is perfect.
It’s called combat-tuff. People have been doing it for years and it really does look cool. I have a 1911 being made now that will have a gray and black worn finish like this. Looks pretty neat

So like... Is anybody gonna talk about how this thing is never going to shoot right until the barrel is replaced? Rifling is completely toast. Never seen the inside of a barrel so smooth and pitted like that.
You are all idiots, the gun he was restoring was a .44 magnum. Literally says .44 on the bolt carrior.. Also you should never shoot a firearm that has pitting in the barrel, it can cause a catastrophic failure.. The pistol he shot at the range was definitely a different gun.
All I hear in my head is the line from Snatch: "Desert Eagle. Point Five Oh." Really, though, that was a really cool watch. I don't know much about firearms, but there's a certain rugged simplicity that is captured with this weapon. I was a big fan of using the mating surfaces to set the sliding mechanism!
I'd bet money you bought that gun in working order and left it sitting in rust bluing solution for a few weeks. There's no way it was "sent to you by a subscriber near Palestine".
It's not fake he did exactly what the video is about even if he lied about how he got it and it says Israel on it so Im pretty sure it is from Palestine
A new offering announced this week pairs a standard black Desert Eagle Mark XIX in .44 Mag in a combo pack that includes a .50 AE caliber barrel in a black finish and a .50 AE magazine. Both barrels are 6-inch and have a combat-type fixed sight as well as a standard top rail. It has interchangeable barrels, this one could have been ruined and he just changed the barrel like it says you can do on the website.
Amazing job! I love watching firearms being brought back from the dead. I just do not understand how someone could ever possibly allow a firearm to be in that condition to begin with!
They don't. These are all staged. When my great-uncle passed, he had shotguns and rifles in the back of the closet that probably hadn't been touched in 30 years, and they had less rust combined than one of these 'restorations'. The only way a gun would look like this is if you buried it in the garden for a couple decades.
@@LordSluggo i mean obviously a firearm in a good clean location like a closet is going to stay in perfect condition but you drop it lose it somehow outside for a while this happens im not saying this video isnt or is staged but even if it was staged was this not a "Desert Eagle restoration - 50 a.e. caliber gun restoration"?

@@joetuktyyuktuk8635 When I saw this video few months ago, I was thinking how the hell someone could let an expensive gun like that (new one ~3500€ here in Finland) to go in that condition. The whole background story was dumb too.
@@aleksihamalainen9229 The only way my mind could justify it's condition was maybe it was recovered from a body of water, magnet fishing or something... but yeah, now I see it as fake. I hate fake videos, youtube has so many... everything from fake bounty hunters to fake restorations, weak.
@@Lucifurion It is plain to see the deep pitting in the barrel along the rifling from not only sitting in an enfriendly environment, and also most likely not cleaned properly leaving residue in and around the chamber and rifling causing corrosion. This corrosion damages and erodes the metal parts of the gun. Usually, this starts inside the barrel of the gun where the residue is left around the chamber, ejector, and firing mechanism. Untreated corrosion can cause the gun to be unsafe to shoot and that guy is a fool to fire that pistol, and i would bet the pistol he fired is not the same pistol he "restored" in the video.
@@BobRossTrolling Barrel corrosion and pitting will severely degrade accuracy. If corrosion and pitting occurs in the chamber portion of the barrel it can cause a safety concern. If it changes the headspace the weapon can be rendered unsafe.
im getting the feeling that some of these weapons are purposely being rusted for content... but i enjoy the content so keep on doing whatever i guess lol
@@benn454 I mean, I dont think that they're doing it on purpose, but these videos definitely make way more than $2000. So for content, "ruining" a $2000 pistol to restore it and using that video to generate more money is a profit move that is smart.
@@user-nk3re4dj5h Absolutely. But the conceit of these restoration videos is that they are authentic. He would get a lot fewer views if he was upfront about it being staged.
Yes @SlyScot - he purposefully strips them of their coating/bluing and oil and places them in an oxidizing solution to artificially corrode them, then "restores" them.
thats what happens when you spray a mix of salt, vinegar and hydrogen peroxide on a pistol and wait 24 hrs then brush it all off for a "restoration" videl
The thing that surprised me the most is that he actually fired it with his bare hands after the shape it was in previously I’ll be afraid the housing and barrel could have weak spots that could cause the gun to have a catastrophic failure if fired.I’ll l fire that gun from a distance using string or rope for the first 12 rounds not with my hands.
Yeah, because it's fake. He faked the rust and everything on it, then made it seem like he acutally restored it. Ofcourse he would fire it, since there is noting wrong with the gun what so ever.
It’s a shame you didn’t include the part where you artificially corroded the gun to begin with. A weapon found in a desert might look like that after 50 years.
im starting to think these are all fake, like there is never any grips on the gun, and the rust is only enough to cause a little bit of damage, still cool to watch tho
How on Earth does a gun end up in this condition? I have to ask: do you guys deliberately rust tools and other gear so that you can restore them on camera?
Guns, like garden tools, cars, bicycles, in fact anything made of metal will rust if mislaid or neglected. What surprises me is there aren't way more guns found, theres enough of them out there!
@@cullen3624 People don't trust channels like this because lots them are restoring from artificial rust and it's been proven multiple times in multiple channels. Not saying this is one of them, but it easily could be unfortunately.
@@cullen3624 yes, I’m aware. But I have been around guns, including very old guns, all my life and have never seen one that was this badly neglected. And this is not a very old gun.
I have no idea about weapons but it is so interesting to watch your restauration videos, that I have leave you a abbo. You are a restauration professional and artist in this field. Thank you for sharing your work.
All these restoration vids are fake af. People just rust up some shit then 'restore it'. The gun looked perfect but for some light rust at the start. How would it even get like that over time?
They are labeled that way, you can swap just the barrel and magazine to either .44 mag or .50ae. I have one with both barrels. If you swap the bolt also you can shoot .357 mag with it.
@@71Dragtruck Correct - the .44 magnum bolt will shoot either .44 or .50... it will be used for the .440 Corbon ammo if you happen to have a DE chambered for that round (rare)
I'm starting wondering if in these video, I the gun hasn't been rusted on purpose : leave a gun few weeks in the mud and you have same result, with a rust that can be easily removed... The restoration seems impressive but not difficult afterwards...
I'm pretty sure this is fake but I will say that I saw a pistol that had been in a safe during a fire and the mixture of the heat and the water from the fire department caused it to look somewhat similar but I'm still pretty sure he did this on purpose just for content but who knows?
This video seems a little sus. A subscriber found a .50 handgun in the desert with heavy amounts of rust and barely any weathering? I dunno, just seems a little weird to me.
First a fake rusted D50 And second, this video is definitely view botted. No chance this gets 20M so easily, especially the comments seem off with little to no likes on them
@cracker yeah because nobody would dump a 50AE Desert Eagle and waste THAT much money for a murder lol. A 22 pocket rocket is like $150-$200. Eagles are like $1500 or more. That’s a waste of money for just one bullet to kill someone with
so? thats like bing upset someone reselling a house where a murder tool place. whats the big deal. nor gunna be of any help to the cops now. they would just keep it and find a way to sell it and use the money for more unnecessary equipment.
Yes!!! That's what I said!!! Why is everyone getting pissed off that I can see or we can see that this is a fake video??? Why you would do that to a 2600$ DE?? It's disrespectful!!
I'm thinking these items are intentionally distressed to make these videos that garner millions of views. How long would a .50 AE have to be unused and subjected to the kind of conditions it would take to create this kind of damage. Personally, I think, no one willing to buy a tool like this is willing to let it get into this kind of disrepair.
@@cwheels01 Nah it was the massive gouge half way down that was super sketch. The barrel is a pressure bearing component well above 40k PSI and a heavily corroded barrel with that has been weakened like that is uber unsafe. You can buy barrels no problem and Id be purchasing one and a new bolt at the same time (yes, DEs use a rotating bolt).
@@MrEvanfriend the barrel is NOT supposed to have a massive chunk of the barrel corroded away. Shit, it could be a shotgun and that barrel is still fucked.
I have to ask, and wonder. With so little rifling left in the barrel how did you fix that? DE .50's are not smooth bore pistols. So even if this wasn't some fake thing to get views, it will never shoot properly, there isn't enough rifling left to grip the bullet and give it a spin on its exit.
Yeah this is super common with these restoration videos. Nothing bad about it because this is a form of ASMR but don’t just blatantly lie and come up with a story how you found it in an abounded creek that nobody goes to.
Man, I hate when I drop my $1,500 Desert Eagle in a pool of vinegar send it comes out looking like this, at least now I know the next time it happens I can send it to you
question: where exactly did you get that grip from, that fits so perfectly with this gun that some random person from across the globe sent you, that's been abandoned in the desert for 30 years? another question: how exactly did you fix the rifling on the barrel of said destroyed handgun, so that it would fire somewhat accurately with modern ammunition? because it looks to me like you started firing some ammo with a modern functional firearm, took it apart, left each piece to rust on it's own, and then put it back together in it's rusted state for the purposes of "restoration" you can't fix the rifling on a barrel with a chemical bath and some powder coat painting! It requires precision machining! with a lathe! as in, from an actual gunsmith's shop!
all your other questions are perfectly legit, i also wondered about the rifling, he def didn't fix that lol, it's about as accurate as a blunderbuss now, but your first question.... you know they make factory grips for deagles that you can buy seperately, right? like brand new ones that'll fit any deagle... because they're still making them at magnum research lol... just thought I'd let you know.
@@thekamotodragon I fired a Desert Eagle, .50 caliber no less, at a firing range back in 1982. The gun was unbelievably heavy and everything about it was big. When I fired it flames came out the muzzle, due to the compensater the flash shot out in 4 directions and it kicked like a mule. Fun to shoot, but I wouldn't want to own one!
@@robertmaybeth3434 haha true, it does kick a lot and is a handful. I actually owned a DE in .50 AE a few years back, they still make them and you can get some pretty sick looking ones nowadays but i ended up selling it. It was fun as a range toy but it isn't very practical for anything else, i actually liked the recoil and weight of the thing, i thought it was actually pretty manageable for a magnum hand cannon, compared to some of the magnum revolvers out there, felt powerful tho. I got used to the recoil, but i felt like i had no use for it outside of it acting as bear protection when outdoors lol and for $2500, i felt like my money could be better used somewhere else, also it had some reliability issues so i wasn't too keen on that either, so i sold it for a pretty good return on investment. If i was rich, I'd buy one again just for fun but i feel like they're meant more to be a fashion statement than be a working tool.
The Desert Eagle .50 AE/.44 Mag use the same bolt, just a different barrel and Magazine (ask me how I know, LOL!). @ 0:18 you can clearly see the barrel is stamped ".50 AE".
yeah too bad he purposefully stripped it of it's coating/bluing and oil and placed in an oxidizing solution to artificially corrode it, then "restored" it...
It would definitely loose accuracy, bullet speed, effective range and impact force. But I wouldn't be too concerned about it blowing up in my hand or so.
This is all fresh rust. Put it in a bucket for a couple weeks and act like you are doing something. I've seen a dozen of these video's and they all start out the same. Baloney!!
The bolt assembly is the same for both. The 50AE and .44 Rem mag have the same rim diameter. The difference between the two, is the slide/barrel and magazine. At 0:17 you can see where it says 50AE on the slide.
There is NOT a .50 AE bolt. .50 AE had been created in 1988 TO HAVE THE SAME RIM OF THE .44 MAGNUM, so that semiautos in .44 magnum (like the Automag V, or the Desert Eagle) could be converted without changing the bolt/slide, but having a rimless ammo, more suitable for semiauto action.

I'd bet money you bought that gun in working order and left it sitting in rust bluing solution for a few weeks. There's no way it was "sent to you by a subscriber near Palestine".
You're right the video is fake! A real gun restoration channel made a video about it!
@@Schlachter748 Where can I find the video?
@@privateassman8839 Backyard Ballistics
@@ray.shoesmith Ahh thanks. I think I've seen it. His channel is very informative
It's not fake he did exactly what the video is about even if he lied about how he got it and it says Israel on it so Im pretty sure it is from Palestine
Take something new….make it look old and restore it! Btw, I like the magical switch from .44 to .50
When exactly was the change?
A new offering announced this week pairs a standard black Desert Eagle Mark XIX in .44 Mag in a combo pack that includes a .50 AE caliber barrel in a black finish and a .50 AE magazine. Both barrels are 6-inch and have a combat-type fixed sight as well as a standard top rail. It has interchangeable barrels, this one could have been ruined and he just changed the barrel like it says you can do on the website.
Just casually restoring a rusted together Deagle. As you do.
Yoo waddup Walcom!
Amazing job! I love watching firearms being brought back from the dead. I just do not understand how someone could ever possibly allow a firearm to be in that condition to begin with!
They don't. These are all staged. When my great-uncle passed, he had shotguns and rifles in the back of the closet that probably hadn't been touched in 30 years, and they had less rust combined than one of these 'restorations'. The only way a gun would look like this is if you buried it in the garden for a couple decades.
@@LordSluggo i mean obviously a firearm in a good clean location like a closet is going to stay in perfect condition but you drop it lose it somehow outside for a while this happens im not saying this video isnt or is staged but even if it was staged was this not a "Desert Eagle restoration - 50 a.e. caliber gun restoration"?
@@zach1976 No one is losing a $2000 Desert Eagle or leaving it behind for someone else to find.
He purposefully strips them of their coating/bluing and oil and places them in an oxidizing solution to artificially corrode them, then "restores" them.

Me, right now
Exactly, I remembered this restoration and thought it was fishy at the time... came back to see for sure
@@joetuktyyuktuk8635 When I saw this video few months ago, I was thinking how the hell someone could let an expensive gun like that (new one ~3500€ here in Finland) to go in that condition. The whole background story was dumb too.
@@aleksihamalainen9229 The only way my mind could justify it's condition was maybe it was recovered from a body of water, magnet fishing or something... but yeah, now I see it as fake. I hate fake videos, youtube has so many... everything from fake bounty hunters to fake restorations, weak.

I'm not a gun expert, but doesn't a ruined rifling mean that a weapon shouldn't be shot with? I suppose it got fixed?
it could be shot with if you wanted to. it wouldn't spin as much or be as accurate but it will still perfectly work
The canon barrel looks like shit... idk how he shoot with that thing...
@Big 1
Quite easily as you saw. No obstruction, no severe rust, no problem.
@@Lucifurion It is plain to see the deep pitting in the barrel along the rifling from not only sitting in an enfriendly environment, and also most likely not cleaned properly leaving residue in and around the chamber and rifling causing corrosion. This corrosion damages and erodes the metal parts of the gun. Usually, this starts inside the barrel of the gun where the residue is left around the chamber, ejector, and firing mechanism. Untreated corrosion can cause the gun to be unsafe to shoot and that guy is a fool to fire that pistol, and i would bet the pistol he fired is not the same pistol he "restored" in the video.
@@BobRossTrolling Barrel corrosion and pitting will severely degrade accuracy. If corrosion and pitting occurs in the chamber portion of the barrel it can cause a safety concern. If it changes the headspace the weapon can be rendered unsafe.
It's now a smooth bore 50 AE... congrats
YOu didn't fix the rifling, so how the hell did that shoot straight? Also, how the hell does a firearm get so evenly rusted all the way through?
Could of been found under water mabey
All way through inside out
It's fake obviously! i would never fire a gun that bad.
it's artifically rusted, but the cleaning is fun to watch tho
That bore had hardly any rifling left. 10/10 needs a new barrel.
I'd like to see an accuracy test on this exact Desert Eagle for the simple fact the rifling looked almost non-existent/well worn.
You could already see it. Hahahahaha.
@@kylejimenez8597 You aimed in the same spot? Damn, talk about the spread of a 4 inch shotgun🤣🤣

im getting the feeling that some of these weapons are purposely being rusted for content... but i enjoy the content so keep on doing whatever i guess lol
Yeah, nobody's leaving a Desert Eagle out in the elements accidentally. That's a $2000 pistol.
@@benn454 I mean, I dont think that they're doing it on purpose, but these videos definitely make way more than $2000. So for content, "ruining" a $2000 pistol to restore it and using that video to generate more money is a profit move that is smart.
@@user-nk3re4dj5h Absolutely. But the conceit of these restoration videos is that they are authentic. He would get a lot fewer views if he was upfront about it being staged.

@@user-nk3re4dj5h Re: "I don't think that they're doing it on purpose". Yes it's done on purpose.
That gun isn't even 50 years old but it has 200 years worth of aging.
Couldve been found in a river or washed up on a beach it does take much for salt water to act on metals
thats what happens when you spray a mix of salt, vinegar and hydrogen peroxide on a pistol and wait 24 hrs then brush it all off for a "restoration" videl
The thing that surprised me the most is that he actually fired it with his bare hands after the shape it was in previously I’ll be afraid the housing and barrel could have weak spots that could cause the gun to have a catastrophic failure if fired.I’ll l fire that gun from a distance using string or rope for the first 12 rounds not with my hands.
Yeah, because it's fake. He faked the rust and everything on it, then made it seem like he acutally restored it. Ofcourse he would fire it, since there is noting wrong with the gun what so ever.
It’s a shame you didn’t include the part where you artificially corroded the gun to begin with.
A weapon found in a desert might look like that after 50 years.
hey, i've played farcry 2 before, that desert eagle was probably looted from a dead dude and fired several times to be in that kinda condition! lol
@@triiidot lol! If you read the description…he says it was found in the desert.

im starting to think these are all fake, like there is never any grips on the gun, and the rust is only enough to cause a little bit of damage, still cool to watch tho
I'd get a new barrel for that thing eventually. It's so gnarly it could present a safety problem down the line.
How on Earth does a gun end up in this condition? I have to ask: do you guys deliberately rust tools and other gear so that you can restore them on camera?
I asked myself the same thing... Like who left it out in the rain and mud and forgot about it? lol
Guns, like garden tools, cars, bicycles, in fact anything made of metal will rust if mislaid or neglected. What surprises me is there aren't way more guns found, theres enough of them out there!

You are a restauration professional and artist in this field. Thank you for sharing your work.
100% Deliberately Rusted
at 6:47 in the vid the bolt says .44 and the title says 50 a.e. as well as the ammo..........hmmmm
What happens when uneducated firearm wielders get one
All these restoration vids are fake af. People just rust up some shit then 'restore it'. The gun looked perfect but for some light rust at the start. How would it even get like that over time?
They are labeled that way, you can swap just the barrel and magazine to either .44 mag or .50ae. I have one with both barrels. If you swap the bolt also you can shoot .357 mag with it.
@@71Dragtruck Correct - the .44 magnum bolt will shoot either .44 or .50... it will be used for the .440 Corbon ammo if you happen to have a DE chambered for that round (rare)
I'm starting wondering if in these video, I the gun hasn't been rusted on purpose : leave a gun few weeks in the mud and you have same result, with a rust that can be easily removed... The restoration seems impressive but not difficult afterwards...
did you end up replacing the barrel or running it without the rifling?
.50 AE. Always handy when you have a burglar. Behind the fridge. At your neighbors house ...
It ain't the 50ae , at the disassembly you can see the engraving .44
@@gordonbelfort7176 it says .50ae in the engraving
@@joaogomes291 are you sure about that ? I swear I have seen .44 maybe another meaning 😅
I'm pretty sure this is fake but I will say that I saw a pistol that had been in a safe during a fire and the mixture of the heat and the water from the fire department caused it to look somewhat similar but I'm still pretty sure he did this on purpose just for content but who knows?
This video seems a little sus. A subscriber found a .50 handgun in the desert with heavy amounts of rust and barely any weathering? I dunno, just seems a little weird to me.
Thank you for teaching us normies how to disassemble, clean, and reassemble our firearms
First a fake rusted D50
And second, this video is definitely view botted. No chance this gets 20M so easily, especially the comments seem off with little to no likes on them
And why even bother with it.. look at the state of that barrel
That's not a "safe queen" with a little surface rust. That's like a murder weapon pulled out of a lake!
@cracker yeah because nobody would dump a 50AE Desert Eagle and waste THAT much money for a murder lol. A 22 pocket rocket is like $150-$200. Eagles are like $1500 or more. That’s a waste of money for just one bullet to kill someone with
I wouldn’t doubt if some monster or cartel hitman held that gun at one point
pulled out of his garden**
so? thats like bing upset someone reselling a house where a murder tool place. whats the big deal. nor gunna be of any help to the cops now. they would just keep it and find a way to sell it and use the money for more unnecessary equipment.
Call the Police
Everyones caught on from the other restoration UA-camr...
Muy bueno el trabajo pero te pregunto cómo restaurante las estrías del cañón...
How long did you sit it in water to get it to look like that? It's not restoring if you are the one that screwed it in the first place😳
Yes!!! That's what I said!!! Why is everyone getting pissed off that I can see or we can see that this is a fake video??? Why you would do that to a 2600$ DE?? It's disrespectful!!
I'm thinking these items are intentionally distressed to make these videos that garner millions of views. How long would a .50 AE have to be unused and subjected to the kind of conditions it would take to create this kind of damage. Personally, I think, no one willing to buy a tool like this is willing to let it get into this kind of disrepair.
Soon as the sandblasting kit came out, I switched off.
I can only imagine that Cerakote was next...
You're probably right but people make a living the best way they can.
You know, the finished product looked good, but the way the inside of that barrel looked? You couldn't pay me to pull that trigger.
I thought the same thing, it’s not much different than a pipe; gonna need to be rebored or replaced.
I was thinking it looked a little too much like a 12ga barrel myself
@@cwheels01 Nah it was the massive gouge half way down that was super sketch. The barrel is a pressure bearing component well above 40k PSI and a heavily corroded barrel with that has been weakened like that is uber unsafe. You can buy barrels no problem and Id be purchasing one and a new bolt at the same time (yes, DEs use a rotating bolt).
It's called polygonal rifling. The barrel is supposed to look like that.
@@MrEvanfriend the barrel is NOT supposed to have a massive chunk of the barrel corroded away. Shit, it could be a shotgun and that barrel is still fucked.
Desert eagles, spas 12s, Winchester trench shotguns. Strange how all the guns you find are expensive and desirable. Ever find a high point c9. Lol❤️
Nice video.. but that barrel should not have been used..
реставратор ≠ оружейник. Без замера зазора после реставрации стрелять настолько опасно, что я за одно видео засудить его хочу.
I have to ask, and wonder. With so little rifling left in the barrel how did you fix that? DE .50's are not smooth bore pistols. So even if this wasn't some fake thing to get views, it will never shoot properly, there isn't enough rifling left to grip the bullet and give it a spin on its exit.
Most likely he changed the barrel. I think it would be dangerous to use that damaged barrel.
I think that'll be the polygonal rifling that looks vestigial even on a good day but is of course fine.
he's just gonna use a .51. ezpz
@@Zyne1990 is there such thing as boring a barrel and then resleeving it? nvm i just search it and it's common
is fake, xd 100% fake
Who in the right mind would ever let a "Desert Eagle" get in that condition in the first place?🤔
The pins and screws are fine.. so this was chemically made to rust and looked aged.
The corrosion in that barrel is awful. I wouldn't call that "restored". It needs a new barrel.
How do you lose/forget about/ find a Deagle?
murder weapon
@1Mig777 I'd have gone for something more subtle and less expensive 😂
@@minitanksandchairs ditto lol
I have a cheeky feeling you just rusted the pistol yourself
Yeah this is super common with these restoration videos. Nothing bad about it because this is a form of ASMR but don’t just blatantly lie and come up with a story how you found it in an abounded creek that nobody goes to.
Yeah it's all just surface rust. No pitting.
@AL Butcher he just did prove it by saying it’s all surface. You disprove him now or else you’re blind.
@albutcher9152 your completely wrong, this is clearly faked
That was the murder weapon and you just cleared the evidence for him. The perfect crime!
I thought the same the rifling was intentionally stripped and gun trown in a body of water to conceal the gun and ballistics.
This seems like some fake corrosion tbh.
It is fake
Al final el cañón como lo arreglasteis ?????, lo cambiasteis o lo pudisteis reparar
It hadn't been rusting long. The springs are the first to go
Man, I hate when I drop my $1,500 Desert Eagle in a pool of vinegar send it comes out looking like this, at least now I know the next time it happens I can send it to you
Bro I literally just dropped mine in a barrel of acid 😩😭
Better than new
It’s about the cleaning in the disassembling in the putting back together and it’s about the process
question: where exactly did you get that grip from, that fits so perfectly with this gun that some random person from across the globe sent you, that's been abandoned in the desert for 30 years?
another question: how exactly did you fix the rifling on the barrel of said destroyed handgun, so that it would fire somewhat accurately with modern ammunition?
because it looks to me like you started firing some ammo with a modern functional firearm, took it apart, left each piece to rust on it's own, and then put it back together in it's rusted state for the purposes of "restoration"
you can't fix the rifling on a barrel with a chemical bath and some powder coat painting! It requires precision machining! with a lathe! as in, from an actual gunsmith's shop!
How did he fix the rifling? The answer obviously is, he just didn't. Replacement barrels though are not too pricey, ebay has em for just $150
all your other questions are perfectly legit, i also wondered about the rifling, he def didn't fix that lol, it's about as accurate as a blunderbuss now, but your first question.... you know they make factory grips for deagles that you can buy seperately, right? like brand new ones that'll fit any deagle... because they're still making them at magnum research lol... just thought I'd let you know.
@@thekamotodragon I fired a Desert Eagle, .50 caliber no less, at a firing range back in 1982. The gun was unbelievably heavy and everything about it was big. When I fired it flames came out the muzzle, due to the compensater the flash shot out in 4 directions and it kicked like a mule. Fun to shoot, but I wouldn't want to own one!
@@robertmaybeth3434 haha true, it does kick a lot and is a handful. I actually owned a DE in .50 AE a few years back, they still make them and you can get some pretty sick looking ones nowadays but i ended up selling it. It was fun as a range toy but it isn't very practical for anything else, i actually liked the recoil and weight of the thing, i thought it was actually pretty manageable for a magnum hand cannon, compared to some of the magnum revolvers out there, felt powerful tho. I got used to the recoil, but i felt like i had no use for it outside of it acting as bear protection when outdoors lol and for $2500, i felt like my money could be better used somewhere else, also it had some reliability issues so i wasn't too keen on that either, so i sold it for a pretty good return on investment. If i was rich, I'd buy one again just for fun but i feel like they're meant more to be a fashion statement than be a working tool.
My first time seeing a restoration like this, thank you, was awesome
That barrel is toast.
This is a $1500 gun, a safe queen, no one would let it rust out
There are plenty way more expensive handguns, it having a $1500 price tag doesn’t mean much.
not a .50AE, bolt assy stamped .44
Стреляют не из того, что отреставрировали. Враньё
The Desert Eagle .50 AE/.44 Mag use the same bolt, just a different barrel and Magazine (ask me how I know, LOL!). @ 0:18 you can clearly see the barrel is stamped ".50 AE".
That is a beautiful weapon.
yeah too bad he purposefully stripped it of it's coating/bluing and oil and placed in an oxidizing solution to artificially corrode it, then "restored" it...
That would be a shame , I guess UA-cam pay for this.
The bore of that barrel is toast.
I was thinking the same thing, is that safe to fire?
It would definitely loose accuracy, bullet speed, effective range and impact force. But I wouldn't be too concerned about it blowing up in my hand or so.
That barrel has huge manufacturing defects! 6:33
Yeah it looked pretty gnarly
Surface rust everywhere but like zero pitting 🤔
And all the springs are still okay 🤔
what an incredible job. beautiful work!
That rust was new, this gun was intentionally corroded for this video … damn I hate fake stuff
@Angelina Jolie 💜 wtf are you talking about?
A fuck fake
This is all fresh rust. Put it in a bucket for a couple weeks and act like you are doing something. I've seen a dozen of these video's and they all start out the same. Baloney!!
Def Agree with your comment
.44 mag...seen at 6:47. not 50 AE.
.50 action express seen at 11:15 not rimmed .44 magnum
uses a .44 bolt face....remember, these desert eagles have interchangeable barrels
The bolt assembly is the same for both. The 50AE and .44 Rem mag have the same rim diameter. The difference between the two, is the slide/barrel and magazine. At 0:17 you can see where it says 50AE on the slide.
There is NOT a .50 AE bolt.
.50 AE had been created in 1988 TO HAVE THE SAME RIM OF THE .44 MAGNUM, so that semiautos in .44 magnum (like the Automag V, or the Desert Eagle) could be converted without changing the bolt/slide, but having a rimless ammo, more suitable for semiauto action.
Gunsmiths are underrated these days. Could an average person perform this task. The answer is probably not. Keep up the training people!!!
It's fake
