10-8'ed Springfield MC Operator

[BlayGlock]

Just picked this up in trade. This gun started life as a bone stock Springfield MC Operator then had the following work done by Dave Helton and D&V Small Arms. He does good work:

Checker @ 25LPI
Kart Barrel & Bushing
Heinie rear sight
Berryhill ignition
Bullet Proof slide lock
Bullet Proof extractor
Bullet Proof ejector, drilled and pinned
Wilson thumb safety
Serrate rear of slide
Flat trigger
NightHawk 25LPI MSH/Magwell
Finished all Black













I picked it up today from my FFL and shot 100 rounds through it. I am pretty please so far, although it is not as accurate as my Guncrafter No Name in my hands, I could still keep an entire magazine in the A zone of an IPSC target freehand slow-fire.

nice, thanks for sharing. I use to have an mc operator and at times i wish i still had it.

Very nice!

Mine's going to stay stock for a while.

Maybe I'm confused...I didn't see any of Hiltom Yam's 10-8 parts on you list

MC Op is a helluva gun, in stock config. Congratulations on making that one your own, and sweetening up an already fine piece.

None of his parts except the trigger. Not so much using his parts but doing the modifications he does.

Interesting grips. Laminated, contoured and serrations cut. I am confused by the angle cut down by the MSH pin. Almost looks like the grip panel itself was dropped and the edge broke off, but it's the same on both sides.

What's the dealio?

VERY NICE.. looks like great mods to a great gun. I'm interested in trying a flat trigger.

as one that know's flat trigger's, the one you have is a Wilson...how do i know? there is a hole for the over-travel screw

btw, Hilton posted a link on the 10-8 Facebook page in regards to flat triggers and guess who's gun is pictured

What is the advantage of the flat trigger? Seen a few 10-8 1911's that have them.

the Remington is a work in progress, but will have a flat trigger when it's done



BlayGlock, sorry for the thread-jack

The linked thread explains it better. But in short, it gives a consistent feel across the face of the trigger

Indeed you do Quack lol. Thanks.

They are Shredder Grips that came on my Guncrafter Industries No Name. You can order them here:
