There are 5 types of Full Rail Operators:
Mil-Spec
Loaded
TRP
Custom Shop
Special Run TRP done by Custom Shop
The Mil-Spec and Loaded were started around 1998 and production ended about 2004. The TRP regular production ended sometime in 2006 but Springfield does have a special run of TRP Full Rail Operators that the Custom Shop makes with regular TRP parts once or twice a year and they run about 2K. Then you have the full house Custom Shop Full Rail that is about 2300 to 5000. I have seen a few New Old Stock Operators online in a couple of other forums and they run in the 900 to 1200 depending what part of the country the pistol is at. I have also seen a few Operators online at Gunbroker and Gunsamerica and those pistols went way too high 1200 to 2100 for used Mil-Spec, Loaded and TRPs that were in what I would call rough shape. The pistols are rare and there are allot of people including myself that want them and sellers know that.
Hopes this helps
