Anyone Seen This Fox Before? Deagle Mk1

This is a mk1 Desert Eagle from 1984. Very early production. Can anyone identify what I’m seeing here on the frame? It almost looks like polished welds or something. Very odd. Let me know if you know anything about what this might be as I’m looking to potentially buy this. Btw if it’s not obvious, this is directly below the barrel under the slide.

I picked up a Radian ramjet for a sig365x and had a few concerns, I was hoping some one can verify if this is safe and common for radian or if rep at radian is full of it.

  1. Uneven brass expantion up to 10.03mm with a buldge near the base.

2.un-even carbon fowling on brass and chamber wall at 11 o clock position. Ferthest most brass to the left was shot from the OEM barral

  1. Rounda exceeding 1000fps are being thrown verry low left not even close to the target ( might be me but no issues with 900pfs rounds or anything from the OEM barral.)

  2. visibal ring around the neck of the brass fired from radian, it was explaned it is intentinal to provide a better seal. Seams reasonible but dose not appear to be working.

Thanks.

Need help with a Winchester 94 from WW1

Hello Reddit community, I'm a French user and I've acquired a Winchester 1894 from WWI, used by the French army. My father and I found all the parts to restore it, but one part is completely broken: the hammer spring. It's impossible to find anywhere in France, and I saw that it's in stock in the USA, but I can't have it shipped. Could someone help me get this part so we can restore it?

The part is cracked, here's the photo, and it's impossible to repair it yourself.

Thank you! 👍

There's this design of the Malorian that I really want to try and make a 3d print prototype, but I wanted to ask what improvements can be made on it so I can try and add it to the plastic prototype, just so it can cycle dummy rounds. (I did not design this myself, the credit goes to OnyxPlateau)

Building my First AR-15. Need some pointers on proper tools.

1 Upvotes

Hey yall. I am dabbling with the idea of building my own ar-15 using a complete PSA upper and a stripped psa lower with their magpul lower part kit. I’m wanting to buy all the tools I could possibly need before starting to buy my components. What are some stuff I would need? My upper is coming fully assembled with a charge handle and bcg already installed so all I’m assembling is the lower portion. Thanks for yalls help in advance.
