Norinco Mac90 for a Lefty?
5/1/2011 12:34:01 AM
I just bought a Norinco Mac90 for the first time today, so they're very new to me. AR15.com member Mach was very helpful in answering a question I had about the bolt not locking open. Given that I'm a lefty, I'd also really like to know whether this gun is lefty-friendly. Being a lefty, I'm not real crazy about shooting a semi-auto high-powered rifle with the ejection port on the right side of the gun, but I guess it really depends on how the guns spits out brass. If it's straight out to the right, then it might not even be an issue, but if it's more at an angle backwards, then it might not be so good. Hot brass and powder i the face is not the way to go. How do these guns do for lefties? I'd really like to hear from you lefties out there. Thanks. 
Also, just in general, what do you guys think of the Norinco Mac90's? Are they keepers? Thanks.

I shoot lefty and have owned several, never noticed a problem.
They are some of the best made AK's available.

I consider them to be pretty lefty-friendly. You can maintain a firing grip with your left hand and manipulate the bolt, safety, and magazine with your right.

The empty cases eject to 1 to 3 o'clock depending on the rifle and (sometimes) the ammunition.
If you're concentrating on the target as you should, you'll never notice the ejected cases or the operating handle.
