Old or New TM Desert Eagle

[krakeder9]

Hi there i have in my collection a TM desert eagle form a few years back and i have lost the box and manuals, and when someone pointed out there are two generations of the TM desert eagle i am curious as to which one i have got.

Is there any distinguishing features between the 2003 model and the pre 2003 model.

I think i cracked it, in two reviews of the old one and the new one the pre 2003 had its front sight backwards in the new one all the reviews had the front sight facing the right way so i think i have the 2003 model based on my detective work

Re: Old or New TM Desert Eagle

the 3 differences i know off are:-

mag size, the old one takes slimmer mags.

the kick on the old one is pathetic, about the same as a tm m9 on 134a.

the old one has a less shiney finish to it

Also, IIRC the older trades read "DEZART EAGLE", in hilarious Engrish.
