I'm sure I could search for it but I'm using tapatalk search works about as well as a flashlight with no batteries. Anyway, are there any other manufactures besides stag and rock river arms that sell lefty ar parts and rifles. I would like to do some more comparisons. Thank you in advance.

What are you looking for?

Charging handles, bolts, uppers, lowers, etc. I've been looking at all the rifles stag has but the way their ejection port covers work just gets me.

I'd say your priorities in terms of ambi-controls are, Safety, Mag Catch, and lastly Charging Handle. The Stag-L models don't cover any of this, all they do is change which side the rifle ejects from, which is the absolute least important thing it can do.

It also locks you into only getting BCGs from them.

 

If you know who Larry Vickers is, you may want to consider his thoughts on the subject of lefty ARs.

I am lefty also. I just put in a ambi safety and mag release and deal with the rest of it. I am looking for a charging handle but some of the supposed ambi ones aren't really lefty friendly. The one I want to get as it looks to be very lefty friendly is rainer arms (link below). I use the Troy ambi mag release. I have used the DPMS ambi safety don't like it. I also use the Troy ambi safety and it works good, but I like the Bad-Ass safeties by Battle Arms but I haven't used one yet. I think getting used to a righty AR is your best bet and customize with the ambi parts you want

I have a ambi mag release and i to am a lefty when i shoot rifles... i never use it... have u shot an ar in standard cinfiguration

Nicest ambi is the battle arms offering. Rainier arms makes a very nice ambi charging handle. The Troy ambi mag release is simple, works, and not too pricey.

With a lot of research, and feedback from some of the forum members, I chose a standard AR when I finally bought one. As a lefty, I was suffering from analysis-paralysis in choosing a lefty or standard. Best decision yet. No issues whatsoever. The other consideration is the re-sale value should you choose to sell it.

I like the Rainer Arms charging handle, worth every penny. The magazine release is really not needed. And the safety can be actuated with the trigger finger.

 

The charging handle is a big one though, and the Rainer Arms model is the best. I love mines.

Hey thanks for all the responses everyone. I will be doing more research from the info you all provided. Cguiro to answer your question yes, I used the M-16 left handed when I was in the Marine Corps. I don't have an issue shooting a right handed rifle and I can shoot them pretty darn good but being left handed I would like a rifle that accommodates my "wrong" handedness.

Gotcha. Well knights armament makes a awesome ambi mag release and selector. I have used one on a buddies rifle it was money. I may order one tonight to replace my troy when i put in my new trigger. Left side ejection stag makes a good set up

Battle Arms makes a really nice ambi safety. I have it and it's great. The different levers they offer makes it very customizable.

I also have the Norgon ambi mag release. It works well too.

Anyone ever run the badger ordnance lefty charging handle? I'm kind of falling in love with it. I like that it has a big latch on the right side and the regular latch on the other. It kind of reminds me of the charging handle I ran on my M16 when I was in the service. Anyway, I looked at all the parts you all mentioned. Great great stuff. As far as lefty/ambi parts go I'm set. Now I just have to look at all the other parts and start ordering. Thank you all again. I greatly appreciate your help.

Looked at one at Lou's today. Seems like its built like a tank. I'm thinking about getting one.

Do it, it's a quality made part.

Wow, just got what appears to be a major whoops of an email from rainier. It's supposed to be a sale flyer for a DD M4-V1. Instead it is a mass email fro dealers for their ambi charging handle.

 

The basic content?

 

MSRP $89.95, MAP $85.54, Dealer price $55.

 

wonder how many it takes to get dealer pricing.

Lol that's awesome. You should email them back for some more details.

I'm in for dealer price haha

I found a really cheap upper that i'm looking at buying. I know this is somewhat off the topic of lefty rifles but i didnt want to start another topic about it. If need be i'll delete this post and start one. Here is the link http://www.surplusammo.com/surplus-ammo-arms-ar15-stripped-flat-top-upper-receiver/ I'll do some more research but after reading some reviews it seems like these are very good for the price. They also have lowers as a very good price as well but they say they won't ship to NJ. Is that because of the model designation being SA-15?

Not worth it. Pay for one with the forward assist and dust cover already installed. There is little to no savings in doing that part yourself. In fact it may cost you more if you have to buy it someplace else and ship it. It DEFINITELY does if you lose any parts during installation. It's also a PITA to get the roll pin in the FA and I hate messing with the spring on the dust cover.

Well I just finished pricing out the rifle. It's going to be just a hair under $1300 but it'll be set up just how I want it. Thanks for all your help everyone.
