Problem with new deagle

Having an issue with my new Desert Eagle. The magazine seems to sit too high in the gun, causing the bolt to catch on the back of it.

I have another one, and when I switch the mags between the two, the good one is fine with either mag and the new one has issues with both mags. Any ideas?

If your older pistol is happy with either mag & your new pistol isn’t, then a call to magnum research is your next step.

Sounds like it. Fortunately a shop near me is owned by Magnum Research, so I'll probably just bring it there

Nice! If it were a Lego-AR, I’d be replacing parts, but not on something as expensive as this.

Haha right! Most of my other guns are cheap enough that playing around with it is fine, but for $2,500... sounds like a manufacturer's problem to handle

That & MR customer service has been A+ to work with.

i would measure the difference in those two magazine where the magazine locks in the magwell. maybe you will find something.
