Welcome aboard Snoopy.
When you post up photos from Photbucket, it's best to copy the IMG codes, and you'll end up with them like this..........

Welcome aboard snoopy, it's a pleasure to have you with us.

I do believe one of our members has a B/F Desert Eagle so you can be sure of a helpful reply soon

I don't have my Desert eagle blank firer available right now, but from memory you are missing the spring(s) that lifts the trigger connector to actuate the sear to release the hammer. Or similar, i'll see if i can dig mine up and shoot a quick photo next week....

Or maybe some other member has his available?

I knew it! can anybody else help please give more info like where i could get the parts for it ps. Thank you for the kind welcome and help.

Hi snoopy,

Do you know which company manufactured your Desert Eagle
That might help us track down a source for spares.

Hi cerwyn it just says made in italy on one side and on the other side theres a circle with a arrow in it and it stamped BBM (this is the company i guess) above the arrow and next to that it says combat KAL.8mm.K hope this helps

hi all iv just searched bbm blankfirers and a company called bruni came up is this right ?

Hi snoopy

Yes, Bruni are definately a Blank Fire replica maker.

you'll have your Desert Eagle sorted in no time at this rate

Sometimes you can get away with just looking at your local hardware store for springs...

Bruni's been good the one time I tried to get info from them- they emailed me the schematics pretty quickly, despite a bit of a language barrier.

iv emailed bruni on sunday but still no reply any desert eagle owners willing to help with a few pics please

I wasn't able to get pics and won't have another opportunity for a long time. So hopefully someone else can step in.

If it is impossible to get any reply from Bruni i suspect that the Desert Eagle will turn into a simple paperweight

Making your own springs can be done but isn't that easy, get some piano wire and go for it...

My experience is that for most replicas/blank firers or modelguns it is hard to find replacement parts.

I had hoped that someone here might have one of these Desert Eagles and could tell you exactly what's missing. If you had the spring length etc you're half way there.

You could always try contacting retailers just in case they've spares available.

Here's a handful I've found:-

Another option could be calling in at your nearest Gun shop perhaps

As an after-thought, is it possible that the missing spring could be replaced by a Modelgun part or an Airgun one

Lots of gun stores, militaria catalogs, etc will have even just sets of assorted replacement springs you can buy...

I don't have time to pull one apart, and have occasionally lost springs, etc when attempting to do so, but if you wanted to just buy another one I've got two of these and would be happy to sell one or both before I move next year.

We've all been there mate, believe me

I don't own one of these Desert Eagles myself but try asking for a copy of an Instruction Manual or exploded diagram of either a Modelgun, Airsoft gun or maybe a Co2 Airgun version.
It's a stab in the dark but you never know, the trigger mechanism might be the same as your Blank and springs might be suitable

Is there a Gunshop near you anywhere A shotgun dealer usually carries airguns too, they might have spare parts lying apart and being fellow gun enthusiasts shoud be wiling to have a look eh

Sorry just noticed this





Just an idea but you may be able to cut downand bend back a safty pin to make this spring

Try these good site for parts used them before. http://www.midwayuk.com/ you may find something you can use try serching for trigger spring

hi everybody id like to take this chance to thank everybody for there help and i have good news and bad news

good news is iv found a suitable spring and the desert eagle is kind of sorted as the trigger works but i havnt put a blank in it yet so fingers crossed

bad news i searched high and low for that damn spring and i found it in the back of my psp which is now broken to bits
oh well
thank you everybody for helping me and thank you DEKE for the pics will let you guys know when i fire a blank later today if it worked

Glad to hear that the help at hand from the forum's members has got you (almost) sorted

Please let us know what happens when you load it up

Shame about your psp though, how the hell did your spring end up in there

Fingers crossed everything works for you now

i used the spring from the door of the psp where you put the games in and it worked i tried a few blanks but only one worked
which means i need to buy some new blanks as the ones i have are no good/ too old
i love the desert eagle just like the real thing thank you once again to all who helped me

and there's me thinking the spring had fallen in there

Despite my Homer Simpson like thinking (Doahhh!) that's a good tip for anyone looking for such a spring Who'd have thought a psp could be so versatile

Let us know how things go when you get your new rounds

Don't worry Cerwyn, you're not the only one who thought that!

I think it would have been easier and cheaper to buy a spring from the shop.
