Left-handed AR-15 (whee!) not just with ambidextrous safety, mag release, etc., but also left handed ejection port as well.


I will probably purchase a separate upper for it in .458 SOCOM for big game hunting in other states (No semi-auto rifles allowed for hunting in PA) and am considering going through the ATF rigmarole to get a suppressor for it as well. Hoping to be deer hunting in Maryland next year with it!


Also, it will be an excellent zombie apocalypse weapon of course.

Any piece of equipment of that quality with a left side ejection port ia only going to grow in populatiry. Its about damn time!

In theory, I could get by with a brass deflector and a right handed model, but fuggit.

Besides, after a whole life of shooting right-handed rifles and being around right-handed gun guys who all want you to try out their right-handed rifles and just adapting to them and "making do" it's hilarious to me and ironic when I hand a right-handed shooter one of my lefty guns and hear them whinge "Oh it's left-handed? WTF do I do?" I enjoy responding "Dude, welcome to my whole life."


Stag Arms is making a lefty AR-15 too, but I think they are using hammer forged barrels where RRA uses button rifled barrels - there's a slight advantage in accuracy and possibly longevity with button rifling... plus I've heard that Stag isn't always up to mil-spec especially with their lefty rifles, which limits the ability to accessorize in the future.

I've always wanted an AR-15 (though I don't need it left handed )

Probably something really exotic, what the experts refer to as a "hunting rifle", like bolt action or such.

Bolt, lever, break action, pump rifles.

Not sure if semi-auto pistols are allowed for hunting.

Semi-auto shotguns are though lol.

Check out Rock River Arms. They come VERY highly recommended to me by a very reputable source.

Presently they're offering a fairly well equipped setup with 2 mags and a case for $1,000. The Elite Operator 2:
