Fellas,

I know that you probably see dozens of the threads every week, but here is another.

Mil spec operator, Plain jane with a full length rail, immaculate condition. Parkerized, no frills.

Been thinking of unloading it, just wondering what to ask for it.

Cant seem to find anything like it on GunBroker.

I will try to post a pic of it tonight.

Thanks in advance,

bd

ETA- My computer foo is weak, the model # from the box is PB9105L

Thanks Again

Good question.  They seem to rare, especially since the frame is no longer in production and  most availability seems to be the higher end TRP Operator.

I have seen the TRP going for about $1000.  Since that is out of my price range (for the amount of time I actually get to shoot these days), I was looking for the mil-spec operator.  My guess would be in the 5-6 hundred range, unless it is more of a collectors piece with few rounds through it, in which I would guess about $700.

Then again, if you want to sell it no fuss no muss to me for a bargain, IM me.

They are getting harder to find but they won't bring the $$ that some think they should.  There is a loaded in the EE for $1200, about $400 more than what a reasonable price would be.  The Milspec would bring $6-700 in good condition.

...or bull barrel, adjustable sights etc.  Good looking gun though.

Ok, ok.  My bad.  I knew it wasn't the Mil Spec Operator.  I assumed it was the TRP.  I stand corrected!

Guys,

Thanks for your input.

It appears that the 650-700 range is a commonly accepted number outside someone who just has to have one.

Thanks again

I pick a loaded up on Gunbroker two years ago and paid $700.  I consider it worth every penny.  I have two of the full rail TRPs and and love them.

Actually that is a picture of a mil-spec operator that has been customized. A loaded Operator would have a Novak sight cut. There is a Heine cut on that one. There were forward serrations added cause they are not quite in the exact place as on a loaded.

I did and made the mistake of letting my wife shoot it.
Now she insists that she'll need to use it for Bowling Pins shoots.

By the way Jeepin45 was good to do buisness with.

I'm glad you had a good experience with him.  I had a trade deal worked out with Steve.  He agreed to it and welched after he made the agreement.  I'm glad to see someone get the pistol who will enjoy it.  I didn't post negative feedback because I didn't really lose anything, but I'll never do anything with him again....

He had also made me a deal and when I agreed to it I never heard back from him.  Sounds like a winner.

Good score on the operator, I have the Pro and it's great.  Glad I didn't go through with the deal above.

Sorry to hear that.

I purchased to use for Pin shoots.  The extra weight helps with flip.

Actually we traded and he got the good end of the deal but I have no regrets.

So it may have been me that killed your dealings for the Springfield.

Fret not for my wife won on this deal not me.

I hope your wife really enjoys the Operator!  No, you didn't kill the deal Steve and I had, he did.  At least I didn't lose my pistol or any money.  It's funny because he told me he sold it outright.  LOL, he didn't even have to lie about it, he could have just told me he wanted out of the deal.  Geesh.
