I was looking at getting a Desert Eagle, and I was wondering if the Mark XIX frame for a 50 AE can take the 357 mag barrel and magazine (change it over like you can with the 44 mag)

*I think* the mark XIX is only interchangeable with .50ae & .44 mag take with a grain of salt.

i think you need to change the slide, the barrel and the bolt for .357 mag.

makes sense since I always hear in reviews that the 50 ae uses the same bolt as the 44 mag, but they never say 357 magnum

You can use the same gun to go to a 357. You need to change the bolt head and barrel, as well as use the correct magazines.
