Stainless Steel American Eagle

The Mitchell versions are interchangeable with the originals. It is the Stoeger and following models that are different. Stoeger had a number of parts changed so that interchangeability would not be an option. Mitchell wanted a stainless steel copy, and the parts do swap out.

The only part that is not the same is the locking bolt spring. They use a ball bearing/spring combo instead of the bent rod spring. Have not tried to change out every part but that was the only thing that stood out. Paid $900.00 on GB and it turned out better then the photos. Looks like new out of the box (which it came with) extra mag and I found an original Mitchel loading tool (SS) on EBay.
