PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR FIREARMS RETAILER OR STATE POLICE FOR ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTSUNDER STATE OR LOCAL LAWS OR REGULATIONS.SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS CHANGE CONSTANTLY, AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO ADVISE YOU ON SUCHCHANGES.

BASIC RULES OF FIREARMS SAFETY1. TREAT ALL FIREARMS AS IF THEY WERE LOADED, AT ALLTIMES. MANY ACCIDENTS OCCUR WITH FIREARMS THATARE HANDLED CARELESSLY, BECAUSE THEY ARE BELIEVEDTO BE “UNLOADED”. THESE ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDEDBY HANDLING ALL FIREARMS THE SAME WAY YOU WOULDHANDLE A LOADED FIREARM, AT ALL TIMES. EVEN AFTERYOU VERIFY THAT A GUN IS UNLOADED, YOU SHOULDCONTINUE HANDLING IT AS YOU WOULD A LOADEDGUN, AND MAKE SURE THAT OTHERS AROUND YOU DOTHE SAME.

2. POINT THE MUZZLE IN A SAFE DIRECTION AT ALL TIMES.A “SAFE DIRECTION” IS ONE IN WHICH, IF THE FIREARMWERE TO DISCHARGE, THERE WOULD BE NO INJURY TOANYONE. NEVER POINT A GUN (WHETHER YOU THINK ITIS LOADED OR UNLOADED - SEE RULE #1 ABOVE) DIRECTLYAT ANOTHER PERSON OR AT YOURSELF. CONSIDER THAT ABULLET CAN RICOCHET (GLANCE OFF) PAVEMENT,FLOORS, WALLS, ROCKS, THE GROUND, WATER, ICE ORALMOST ANY OTHER OBJECT IT STRIKES. ALSO, BULLETSCAN PENETRATE WALLS, CEILINGS, FLOORS, DOORS, WIN-DOWS, AND MANY OTHER MATERIALS TO KILL OR INJURESOMEONE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER AND OUTSIDETHE TRIGGER GUARD UNTIL YOU ARE AIMED AT A PROPERTARGET AND HAVE DECIDED TO FIRE. IF YOUR FINGER ISINSIDE THE TRIGGER GUARD, YOU COULD FIRE YOURGUN WITHOUT INTENDING TO - FOR INSTANCE, IF YOUWERE STARTLED, OR IF YOU SLIPPED OR LOST YOUR BALANCE. BY KEEPING YOUR FINGER OUTSIDE THE TRIG-GER GUARD UNTIL YOU ARE ON TARGET AND INTEND TOFIRE, YOU ENSURE THAT YOU WILL NEVER HIT ANYTHINGYOU DO NOT INTEND TO.

4. BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET, AND WHAT IS AROUNDAND BEYOND IT. THE BULLET FIRED FROM YOUR PISTOLCAN TRAVEL OVER A MILE, AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TOKILL OR SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE AT THAT DISTANCE!

7

ONCE YOU PULL THE TRIGGER, YOU CANNOT CALL THEBULLET BACK, SO YOU MUST POSITIVELY IDENTIFY YOURTARGET BEFORE YOU FIRE. NEVER FIRE (FOR INSTANCE, ATA NOISE, A MOVEMENT, A RUSTLING BUSH, OR A SHAPEIN THE DARK) UNTIL YOU HAVE POSITIVELY IDENTIFIEDYOUR TARGET AS SOMETHING YOU INTEND TO SHOOT.FIRE ONLY WITH A SAFE BACKSTOP BEHIND YOUR TARGET- SOMETHING THAT WILL STOP AND CONTAIN THE PROJECTILES YOU FIRE, EVEN IF YOU MISS THE TARGET ORYOUR BULLET PASSES THROUGH IT.

5. WHENEVER YOU HANDLE A FIREARM THAT, EVENMOMENTARILY, HAS BEEN OUT OF YOUR DIRECT CON-TROL, START BY CHECKING ITS CONDITION TO DETERMINEWHETHER OR NOT IT IS LOADED. A FIREARM IN YOURHANDS IS A LETHAL WEAPON WHICH IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, SO YOU MUST CHECK IT YOURSELF, NOW,NOT LATER. DO NOT RELY ON SOMEONE ELSE TO CHECKIT. DO NOT TAKE SOMEONE ELSE’S WORD FOR THEFIREARM’S CONDITION. DO NOT RELY ON YOUR MEMORYOF HAVING CHECKED THE FIREARM PREVIOUSLY, OR ONYOUR BELIEF THAT YOU LEFT IT UNLOADED THE LAST TIMEYOU USED OR HANDLED IT. CHECK IT AGAIN YOURSELFNOW.

6. NEVER GIVE A FIREARM TO ANYONE, OR TAKE AFIREARM FROM ANYONE, UNLESS IT IS UNLOADED ANDTHE ACTION IS OPEN. IF SOMEONE TRIES TO HAND YOU AFIREARM WITH THE ACTION CLOSED, POLITELY ASK THEM

TO OPEN IT BEFORE YOU TAKE IT FROM THEM. IF YOUNEED TO OPEN THE ACTION OF A FIREARM WITH WHICHYOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR, DON’T EXPERIMENT, LEST YOUMAKE A FATAL MISTAKE! INSTEAD, ASK SOMEONE WHOKNOWS HOW TO HANDLE THE FIREARM TO OPEN THEACTION AND ALLOW YOU TO VERIFY THAT IT ISUNLOADED. IF YOU CAN’T FIND SOMEONE WHO KNOWSHOW TO HANDLE THE FIREARM, LEAVE IT ALONE!

7. FIREARMS SHOULD BE UNLOADED WHEN NOT ACTUALLYIN USE. LOAD YOUR FIREARM ONLY WHEN YOU ARE ONTHE TARGET RANGE OR IN THE FIELD AND READY TOBEGIN USING IT. UNLOAD YOUR GUN AS SOON AS YOUARE FINISHED SHOOTING. UNLOAD YOUR GUN BEFOREYOU BRING IT BACK INTO YOUR CAR, CAMP OR HOME.NEVER LEAVE A LOADED GUN UNATTENDED, EVEN FOR AMOMENT.

8. THOROUGHLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OWNER’SMANUAL AND OTHER LITERATURE SUPPLIED WITH THIS PISTOL. NEVER USE ANY FIREARM UNLESS YOU COMPLETE-LY UNDERSTAND HOW IT OPERATES AND HOW ITS SAFETYFEATURES WORK. CONTACT MAGNUM RESEARCH, INC. IFYOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, OR IF YOUARE NOT CERTAIN YOU HAVE ALL THE LITERATURE SUPPLIEDWITH THE FIREARM AT THE TIME IT WAS FIRST SOLD. EVENIF YOU UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING IN THIS MANUAL, NOMANUAL CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH THE BENEFITS OFHANDS-ON FIREARMS INSTRUCTION. IF YOU ARE NOT

ALREADY AN EXPERIENCED FIREARMS USER, YOU SHOULDOBTAIN TRAINING IN THE SAFE AND PROPER USE OFFIREARMS BY ATTENDING ONE OF THE MANY FIREARMSSAFETY AND SHOOTING COURSES OFFERED IN ALL PARTSOF THE COUNTRY BY THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION(TELEPHONE 703-267-1000), GUN CLUBS AND RANGES,GUN SHOPS, SHOOTING SCHOOLS AND OTHER QUALIFIEDSOURCES OF INSTRUCTION.

9. BEFORE FIRING ANY FIREARM, BE SURE IT IS IN GOODWORKING ORDER AND THAT THE BARREL IS CLEAR OFDIRT, GREASE, WATER, EXCESS OIL, RUST, CORROSION ORANY OTHER OBSTRUCTION.

10. ALWAYS WEAR HIGH-QUALITY EAR AND EYE PROTECTIONWHEN SHOOTING OR OBSERVING, AND BE SURE THATOTHERS WHO ARE PRESENT DO THE SAME. EXPOSURE TOGUNFIRE NOISE WILL CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS(DEAFNESS) IF GOOD EAR PROTECTION (EITHER COMMER-CIALLY MANUFACTURED EAR PLUGS, EARMUFF-TYPE HEARING PROTECTORS, OR BOTH) IS NOT WORN. CLOSE-FITTING, IMPACT-RESISTANT SHOOTING GLASSES OR SAFETY GLASSES OF WRAPAROUND OR SIDE-PANELDESIGN HELP TO GUARD AGAINST POTENTIALLY BLINDINGEYE INJURIES CAUSED BY GRANULES OF POWDER, SPLASHBACK OF FRAGMENTS FROM THE TARGET OR BACKSTOP, METAL FRAGMENTS WHICH CAN RESULT FROMA BURST PRIMER, ETC. NEVER SHOOT A FIREARM, ORALLOW YOURSELF OR OTHERS TO BE PRESENT WHERESHOOTING IS IN PROGRESS, WITHOUT BOTH EYE AND EAR

PROTECTION IN PLACE. EYE PROTECTION CAN ALSO PROVIDE IMPORTANT PROTECTION WHILE YOU ARE DISASSEMBLING AND CLEANING YOUR FIREARMS, BOTHFROM FLYING FIREARMS PARTS, AND FROM AEROSOLSAND OTHER SOLVENTS AND CLEANING FLUIDS THAT CANSPRAY OR SPLASH INTO YOUR EYES, CAUSING SERIOUS EYE INJURY.

11. FIREARMS, DRUGS AND ALCOHOL DON’T MIX! NEVERHANDLE FIREARMS WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OFALCOHOL OR DRUGS (INCLUDING PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS) THAT CAN IMPAIR YOUR NORMAL SENSES,ABILITIES, ALERTNESS, REFLEXES, PERCEPTION OR JUDGMENT.MAKE SURE EVERYONE IN YOUR PRESENCE FOLLOWS THESAME RULE. ALSO, AVOID HANDLING FIREARMS WHENYOU ARE ILL, EXHAUSTED, UPSET OR PREOCCUPIED WITHOTHER CONCERNS - SAFE FIREARMS HANDLING REQUIRESYOUR FULL ATTENTION, AND ALL OF YOUR ABILITIES,UNIMPAIRED BY OTHER FACTORS.

12. ANY FIREARM WHICH IS NOT UNDER YOUR DIRECTCONTROL SHOULD BE STORED SO IT IS INOPERABLE ORINACCESSIBLE TO CHILDREN AND OTHER UNAUTHORIZEDUSERS. CHILDREN ARE ATTRACTED TO, AND CAN FIND,LOAD AND OPERATE FIREARMS, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURYOR DEATH TO THEMSELVES AND OTHERS. PREVENTINGCHILD ACCESS AND TRAGIC, AVOIDABLE ACCIDENTS ISYOUR RESPONSIBILITY, AS AN ADULT GUN OWNER. THESAFEST WAY TO STORE FIREARMS IS UNLOADED, LOCKEDIN A GUN SAFE OR VAULT.

13. USE ONLY PROPER AMMUNITION RECOMMENDEDFOR THIS PISTOL, AND BE SURE THE AMMUNITION IS THECORRECT CALIBER FOR YOUR GUN. MOST MODERNFIREARMS HAVE THEIR CALIBER DESIGNATION STAMPEDINTO THE FIREARM’S BARREL OR RECEIVER. YOUR AMMUNITION BOX AND CARTRIDGE HEAD STAMP SHOULDBEAR THE EXACT SAME CARTRIDGE DESIGNATION. JUSTBECAUSE A CARTRIDGE FITS INTO THE GUN DOESN’TMEAN IT IS SAFE TO FIRE. NEVER FIRE AMMUNITIONWHICH IS DAMAGED, CORRODED, OR OF QUESTIONABLEORIGIN OR CONDITION. FIRING EVEN A SINGLE DEFECTIVECARTRIDGE CAN DESTROY YOUR DESERT EAGLE PISTOLAND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Prior to firing the pistol, the bolt is locked bythree lugs in the barrel assembly. Upon firing thepistol, propellant gases pass through ahole underneath the bore of the barrel intothe gas cylinder and push the piston, whichin turn moves the slide backwards. Duringthis movement the bolt is unlocked and carried to the rear by the slide, but not before,the pressure in the chamber is reduced.When the bullet has left the barrel the emptycartridge case is extracted and ejected by thecontinuing movement of the slide and thebolt to the rear. At the same time, the slidepushes the hammer downward into thecocked position, where it is retained by thesear. The recoil springs are compressed.

Forward Movement

When the recoil springs expand, they drivethe slide and bolt forward. During thismovement the bolt cannot rotate due tothe stabilizer pin which retains it. When thebolt scoops another round from the magazineand inserts it into the chamber, the locking lugs on the bolt come into contact with the recesses in the barrel and the boltis rotated thus locking the cartridge in thechamber. Now the trigger bar is oppositethe recess in the safety and can moveupward, thus engaging the sear. When pullingthe trigger, the sear releases thehammer which in turn hits the firing pinthus firing the chambered cartridge. (fig. 3)

When the last cartridge is fired and theempty case is ejected, the slide is retainedin its rear position by the slide catch. Theslide catch is actuated by the magazinefollower. The catch releases the slide whendepressed by hand or when the slide ispulled slightly to the rear.

fig. 3

Safety Features

The safety catch levers are located at therear of the slide, just below the rear sight.They are accessible from either side of thepistol. When pushing the front end of thesafety catch lever downward, the safetycatch is engaged. In this position the firing pin movement is closed by the safetycatch and the trigger bar, which ispushed down, cannot engage the sear,thus neutralizing the trigger (fig. 4).

It should be noted that due to the abovefeatures, it is not possible to engage thesear when the bolt is not locking properly. Due to the unique blocking of the firing pin by the safety, the pistol will notfire when dropped accidentally on itshammer or on its muzzle when the safetyis properly engaged (on “SAFE”).

CARE AND CLEANINGGeneralComprehensive knowledge of how to service andhandle the pistol is of great importance.Experience has shown that most failureswhich occur while operating the pistol aredue to negligence in maintenance. Specialattention must be paid to cleaning, lubricating andinspecting the pistol; this will determine whether ornot the pistol will function properly when you need it.In order to maintain accuracy, the barrel must be serviced thoroughly. The slide, the bolt and other moving parts of the pistol must be kept clean andlightly lubricated to ensure proper operation. Care andcleaning includes the magazines, which must be keptfree from rust, grit, etc. in order to function properly. At regular intervals, or whenever your pistol has beenexposed to sand, dust, extreme humidity, water orother adverse conditions, it must be cleaned and lubricated. Before re-assembling the Desert Eagle, make sure thatnothing from the cleaning process is left in the bore.Discharging the pistol with anything in the bore canresult in destruction of the firearm and injury or deathto you or bystanders. Wipe the exterior of the pistol with powder solvent.Dry the exterior of the Desert Eagle and then apply athin coat of lubricant to the exterior of the firearm. Useof excess lubricant or grease on your pistol can attractdust or dirt which can interfere with the safe and reliable function of the firearm.Before firing remove all excess lubricant from the boreof the pistol.

Initial Cleaning1. Upon receipt of the pistol, disassemble (see page 26) and inspect it.2. Clean pistol as per periodic maintenance procedure.3. Any heavy or sticky deposits of protective material may be removed,

using very light rust-preventive oil. After cleaning, wipe dry and coat lightly with gun oil.

4. Never use abrasive or metallic objects, synthetic cloth, dry cleaning fluids,detergents, acids, lye, water or steam for cleaning.

5. Reassemble pistol (see page 28) and make sure it is functioning properly.

Periodic Maintenance1. Field strip the pistol (see page 26)2. Clean all stripped parts with a lightly oiled soft cloth.3. Attach the patch holder to the cleaning rod; slip a dry patch into the

patch holder and clean the bore.4. Clean the bore and chamber of the barrel with an oiled patch slipped

through the patch holder.5. Clean the gas cylinder.6. While cleaning, inspect all parts for wear and damage; make sure the

bore and chamber are free from rust.7. Assemble the pistol (see page 28) and make sure it functions properly.

Cleaning prior to firing1. Field strip the pistol (see page 26).2. Using the cleaning rod and patch holder, dry the chamber and bore with a

clean patch.3. Make sure that all moving parts are lightly oiled.4. Assemble the pistol (see page 28) and make sure it functions properly.

37

Cleaning and firing1. Field strip the pistol (see page 26).2. Disassemble the slide (see page 30).3. Attach the brass wire brush to the cleaning rod,

run the brush completely through the chamberand bore until it protrudes completely from theother end. Now pull the wire brush in the oppo-site direction and remove it from the barrel.Repeat this operation several times.

4. Wipe the cleaning rod dry, remove the wirebrush and attach the patch holder.

5. Attach a clean patch and clean the bore; repeatthis operation using clean patches until the boreis clean.

6. Oil chamber and bore with a clean oiled patch.7. Clean the gas cylinder.8. Oil lightly all other parts of the pistol, reassemble

it (see page 28) and make sure it functionsproperly.

Tips for the Care and Cleaning of your Desert EagleTM

.357, .41, .44, .440 & .50 AE Pistols

Keep It Clean!1. Be sure to prevent lead build-up in the cylinder and on the piston of your pistol’s gas system. This

includes the area on the front of the slide around the base of the piston. Use your cylinder lead reamerevery time you clean (approximately 100-200 rounds).

2. Be sure to prevent lead build up on the end of the recoil springs. This includes the surfaces on theguide rods, on the crossplate, and on the frame itself in the area around the end of the recoil springs.

3. If you should experience trouble with feeding, check inside of the magazine for burrs aroundthe viewing ports. File off any burrs.

4. If you should experience extraction problems after shooting a number of rounds, check the chamberfor powder residue and brass particle build-up. Swab your barrel and chamber periodically. Theexclusive quick barrel removal feature of the Desert Eagle Pistol makes it easier to clean the barrel.

5. Remember, all ammunition is not made equally! If you should experience consistent failure to feed, butthe pistol works otherwise, change ammo brands.
