Not sure any of those organizations have any teeth for what you want.

Wow. That is a pretty lame response by Magnum Research. A new pistol is shaving chunks off ammo and they say just clean the gun? um, NO!!! Not only should they be fixing the problem at NO charge, they should absolutely be picking up the cost of shipping it back to them! UNLESS it says in the instruction manual to NOT use anything but fmj ammo. Then it may be a different story.
My firearm was an American Tactical 9mm Milsport that was nicking and shaving copper off of fmj ammo. They instantly sent me a call tag, and RMA and I dropped off the package at FEDEX.
2 weeks later my gun came back running perfect and not acting like a bullet grater Not impressed Magnum Research.

Continuation on this problem.

Actually got to talk to the gun smith for Magnum Research that only works on the 357 guns. He studied all the photos which he said are much better than most they receive. The problem is clearly visible and cleaning would not fix the problem. There are final alignment issues that were not addressed at manufacture, involving the extractor. The extractor is not able to retreat properly and drags a 1/8th strip down the loading round sometimes ripping the copper jacket. Besides everything else accuracy would be very affected.

Started the process of arranging a prepaid return authorization .

They said I would get back the original frame and serial number but a new matched extractor, bolt and barrel assembly, which will be tested and verified before shipping back.

I will post the final resolve (hopefully) when/if it happens. My faith in the American version of Desert Eagle is shaken. My advice at this point is be cautious.

Not yet but my fault not Magnum Research. Haven’t sent the gun back trying to coordinate schedules with my travel availability.
