    Coupled with the price, you just can't beat it (in my opinion).

    Just got back from the range and testing 69 grn loads. With the 6X scope mentioned earlier, groups averaged around 1in. I have no doubt that with more magnification they would be in the sub moa routinely.

    I read after an initial break in the barrel will shoot tighter. I think maybe 200-250 rnds ?
    Also you notice the weight.

    What weight? It's been a long time since I looked at the Operator, but I thought it would be similar to N4.

    Hmm, I also don't recall the O's price as reasonable as an N4 built by Grant, but maybe prices have come down!

    I think the Operator is a wee bit heavier than the N4, as the barrel does seem to be beefier than the N4. It be nice to know HOW MUCH the difference is, though.

    An Operator upper (w/out CH, BCG or HGs) runs $469, w/out shipping.

    A Noveske N4 upper, built by Grant (w/out CH, BCG, or HGs), runs $500, w/out shipping.

    Both have the complete delta assemblies.

    I have an Operator upper, but have yet to really test its true accuracy at 100yds. The N4, however, seems to be more accurate upper when comparing N4 user results here to Operator user results on TOS.

    ETA: Duh, I forgot aobut MY own thread regarding the weight differences between the Opertor and N4 : https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=16387

    The accuracy of the Noveske is unsurpassed (except for maybe MSTN, but you're splitting hairs). However, the Operator is not too far behind and many people (i.e., joe blows like myself) probably wouldn't notice the difference.

    Life of an Operator barrel is supposed to be 40,000 rounds (that's straight from Denny). I'll try my hardest to see if that is the case. Noveske I'm sure is in that area too.
    What is (MSTN)?
