Magnum Research Desert Eagle L5 Series

Design and Construction

The L5 features a gas-operated rotating bolt system that tames the substantial recoil of the .50 AE cartridge. The construction combines a high-quality carbon steel barrel and frame with a brushed chrome slide, creating a distinctive aesthetic that commands attention on any range. The black aluminum frame provides a striking contrast to the polished steel slide.
