just the beginning phase, a few changes upcoming, but here she is as of now, mc operator, I had it finished in complete armory kote black instead of black and OD green, springfield custom shop did an excellent job, so far I love it, I plan on adding a S&A mainspring housing and magwell, a pair of nighthawk coyote brown gunners grips, over sized ed brown magazine release, 10-8 flat auto trigger and 10-8 u notch rear sight. Basically make into as close t the 10-8 operator minus grips, and several internals. I will have it sent back to Springfield to have the rear sight installed , mainspring housing and mag well fitted and color matched and magazine catch installed. I am very impressed with Springfield's custom work thus far. well tell me what you think, and what to expect. I don't plan to shoot it until all these things are added.

I like the finish but don't care for the 10rnd mag sticking out the bottom. Otherwise...looks good.
 
Love the finish, but not the 10-round magazine. Would look more proper with a standard 7-round or 8-round.
 
I understand, truly from some of the purist on the site

and yes I just bought the 10 rd for the sake of novelty of it, I hahve a few of the Wilson 47d's, nighthawk act/mags and just bought my first pair of chip McCormick 8rds, so I should be just fine Iwill by some more 7rds with loaded coupon from springfield soon
 
How about some pics without the light and extended mag. I'd like an Operator in black myself, nice choice.
 
The extended magazine is alright. It needs an emblem of some sort on the exposed surface to give it some character though.
