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.

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 tongue )

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



peace

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:
