www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/01/12/multi-caliber-goes-big-bore-handguns-new-desert-eagle-package/Here is a link to The fire arm blog, they show the new kit offered by magnum research. I think Magnum research has offered similar kits before, but I think it was more like the 10 inch barrel option kit. MSRP: $3,035.00 • DE50 (.50 AE Pistol with 6" Barrel, Black, 7 Round Magazine) • BAR446 (.44 Magnum, 6" Barrel, Black) • BAR3576 (.357 Magnum, 6" Barrel, Black) • .357 Magnum Bolt Assembly • MAG44 (.44 Magnum, 8 Round Magazine) • MAG357 (.357 Magnum, 9 Round Magazine) • Shipped in Protective Lockable (locks not included) Aluminum Case Looks to be solid with everything you would need. But I am not sure you get all that much of any value from it. buying all the components separately would save you more money, but the MSRP, is just that an MSRP, if this came in at a particular savings, then I could see the merit for such a kit. But at MSRP, I am not seeing it. I think I would rather buy a new or used 50 Ae, used 44 mag barrel and mag, then buy a L5 357, if I was to be going all in for all calibers. At a similar price range to this. But Thats just me. Glad to see that they are offering kits still. It will be interesting to see what real store prices would bring this down to.

I guess its nice to offer a kit in a nice case. I would have preferred a case with cut outs for the parts so they didn't slip around a bunch and possible Get Dinged up. Maybe it Is ,I can't tell from the picture tho. It would have been cool to include it with some custom G10 grips or something to make it mildly collectible as well. Only offered for this kit. Kind of like smith and wesson did with there X frame Revolvers for the special edition bear kits in 500 sw magnum and 460 sw.

It shows up at Buds for $2515.00 USD, which is much more real world... as was stated, MSRP is just a "suggestion". Few products sell for MSRP. Seems a reasonable price at that.
