Which companies make a left handed ar? I have a right handed shooter that is left eyed

If I remember right not many make a dedicated ar. Which other components besides ambi selector

I should know but I have never really concentrated on lefty items

ARs are already ambi for the most part. Some companies make lefty side chargers though.

Never have needed a LH AR. Running a RH AR, left handed is no trouble. I cant remember which ones make a lefty either.

Left index finger runs the bolt release, and the safety, if it's not an ambi safety. Slide the right hand back to push the mag release with right thumb.

I've been using my left thumb to operate the selector switch and left index finger to operate the bolt catch since I was a teenager. It just feels right.

Stag makes dedicated LH ARs.

Stag is not on the approved list

Looks like it’s not worth the mess to find a dedicated lefty

I agree.

My wife is left eye dominant so I taught her to shoot left handed. I looked for a left hand eject Ar for a while but gave up after a while. She does fine left handed now.

Throw in a charging handle that unlatched on the left or right side. I can hold the rifle by the grip, muzzle down, grab the right side of the charging handle with my right hand, and pull it back. RH AR works just fine for a lefty.

And I prefer my right hand Win Super X II shotgun. I can tilt the shotgun to the left, hand still on the grip, right hand top load one, and right thumb hit the bolt release. Both long guns are very fast to use with a bit of hands-on experience.

Stag

Not worth it.

Ambi is better than LH. Aero, POF, etc.

Curious, why is Stag not on the approved list. Where does one find this list?

My cousin showed me his lefty AR at least 10 years ago, so somebody makes them (or did). One thing to consider is that he is wealthy, so cost would not have been a factor in his buying what he wanted.

Each PD has a different approved list. Most list are very limited and some places are more generous. I have never seen a Stag on the list anywhere.

The only time I have found shooting a right handed ar left handed sucks, is when they are suppressed. You get way more gas in the face. And what is the list, california or something?

Adjustable gas blocks are fairly inexpensive, and a must have with a suppressed AR.

They usually consist of brands that have more military or FBI type testing done to them.

It doesn't help you any patrick because its not a factory rifle but i built my hunting buddy a lefty SBR. It was a pain to build and find the parts for. But besides him every lefty i know shoots righty ARs.

If you're gonna suppress it, I'd look at a KelTec RDB instead of an AR.

AR'S SUK anyway

Won’t happen

Stag and Rock River are the only factory ARs I know of that come in lefty. Have owned both. RR was a better rifle, but is built with RR specific lefty parts. Most of the parts do not interchange with other AR platforms.

I own a LH AR. This thread has me LMAO!!!! The reason for a LH AR is so you don’t have hat brass stick to the side of your neck, face or worse drop down the front of your shirt.

If your going to tell me it doesn’t happen then I’m going to tell you..... you never went thru basic training or boot camp with any LH shooters.

Sometimes you guys crack me up...... seriously.

Hot not hat

It may happen, but it has not happened to me. .223 or. 308

Me either. That's what the shell deflector is for. If an AR is ejecting brass at the 6:00 position, there's a problem with the rifle.

Yeah, needs more gas. And then, it probably would not cycle. Proper ejection is at 3 or 4 o'clock. Shoulders square to the rifle, and the brass never touches the shooter.

Still laughing, I’ve seen it many times and it’s happened to me..... while in basic.

The fix is simple really. Buy a LH AR.

He should buy a custom rifle to fix something that happened to you back in your glory days? It never happened to me in basic, or AIT, or qualifying, live fires, combat infiltration course, or any other time.

i hate ar's

No doubt, they hate you back, so sounds like a wash.

I’d say I’m living in my glory days right now..... I’ve got good kids, good friends, a better paying job than I ever could even imagine and no health issues. Don’t forget..... a LH AR.

If I was RH, I'd get a LH AR and set it up ambi so I could see into the ejection port. Fortunately I'm in my right mind. So I don't have to.

I built a couple of "lefties" for a buddy, one in 6.8 and one in 223 Wylde, both using ARP barrels.

I used Stag upper receivers and don't remember the bolt manufacturer off the top of my head.
Also used ambi safety and he added a BAD lever later.

I have seen a couple of different side charging uppers that are ambi.
You do need a dedicated left eject bolt for whatever upper you choose.

Both uppers functioned just like any other AR except it craps brass out left side.
