    Default Eagle 44 L5 Recoil Spring Question

    Question for those more knowledgeable than I...so probably all of you since I just picked up my first Desert Eagle.

    Recently picked up a DE44L5IMB for a good price. It had been neglected. So, I disassembled, cleaned, and installed a new Magnum Research spring kit since it would not go to battery by itself and I have no idea of round count.

    Following reassembly I quickly realized that the slide would not move back far enough to chamber a round. I noticed the new recoil springs were longer than the old recoil springs.

    Question is, did I use the incorrect spring kit? The one I used is the DEP211BL for 41/44 DEP. I cannot seem to find a different kit.

    Probably a rookie mistake, but what am I missing here?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The L5 does use a different spring kit for sure... I don't have an L5, but I have read of this before. I don't have a part number, but if you call Magnum Research at (218-746-3459), they can get you the correct springs. It definitely isn't the set for the 41/44. It will be L5 Only.

    If you do get a part number, I would appreciate you posting it here for reference. Good luck!
