Looking for suggestions, based on experience for a complete, left handed upper to use. Thanks in advance.
No, other companies like stag and pro2a have offeringsIsn’t Rock River the only left handed game in town?
None in stock now though?s stated a ove, Stag has left handed rifles and receivers. Scott's Gunsmithing has carried them at times. We sold 3 last summer.
It probably wasn't worth all the BS to test, evaluate and source a specific rifle for a relatively small group of individuals.A few years ago I had a conversation with a high-ranking retired Army officer. He talked about the military trying to make a left-handed M16. Basically be called the project fruitless and the Army gave up. He claimed there was too much involved and the way the M16 system worked it wasn't feasible for the military to pursue a lefty M16. It's been a while ago and I don't recall the specifics. It seems that with all the AR's out there, there'd be more lefties. It was just a conversation, I can't say one way or the other but it's an interesting topic.
So you're a lefty and use mostly righty builds. I'm fine with brass flying by, but yes, this build may end up with a whisper pickle on it.It probably wasn't worth all the BS to test, evaluate and source a specific rifle for a relatively small group of individuals.
A lefty AR works the same as any other AR, except the bolt rotates the opposite way. So, you need left handed bolts and carriers. It also helps to have ambidextrous barrel extensions or a left handed bolt will chew the extension up and possibly fail earlier because of the additional stresses put on it until it "wears" itself in.
It's an additional supply and logistics problem that really doesn't need to exist. About the only time it sucks shooting a right handed AR is when it's suppressed and you get gassed in the face. My lefty guns are what I shoot suppressed, primarily. My right handed guns have adjustable gas blocks so I can minimize the gas to the face, if need be.
An adjustable gas block or the correct combination of buffer weights and sprinco springs can really make the gas negligible.So you're a lefty and use mostly righty builds. I'm fine with brass flying by, but yes, this build may end up with a whisper pickle on it.
Yes, that's right! That's how I remember the conversation going.It probably wasn't worth all the BS to test, evaluate and source a specific rifle for a relatively small group of individuals.

Don't know. I have not worked there for a few months. But you can call on Tues. 410 761 9815. Even if they don't have one, they may be able to order one.None in stock now though?
