All Desert Eagle Magazines The Same Dimensions?

[mmattockx]

Can anyone confirm that all the Desert Eagle mags are the same external dimensions? It looks like they are from pictures, with different sized ribs stamped in to hold the various cartridges correctly but I don't have the mags in hand to confirm.


Thanks,
Mark

My .41 mag and .44 mag are different internally but are externally the same. Not sure if the .50s are different.

Yes same external dimensions. Conversion between 357, 41, 429, 44, 440 and 50 only requires a barrel change and corresponding magazine (and a different bolt for 357). Suspect the really early ones (pre 44 and 50) could be different.

This is what I suspected, the same as all 1911 mags fit in all 1911 frames, regardless of .45ACP, 9mm or whatever.
