Not to hijack the thread, but I shot an M60 just fine left handed. |

Guys, everyone is worried about getting used to ambi controls and thereafter not being able to operate a non-modified carbine. It's not really a concern. I switch from full blown ambi carbines to standard ones with no problems. Ambi controls make running the AR15 style carbines much easier. Granted, non-modified AR15s are not that hard to run for lefty's, but if I can gain some time using friendlier controls, I'll do it. 
I appreciate the input from the folks who provided some parts options. I have both Norgon and Troy ambi mag releases laying around because I replaced them with the Forward Control option. Much easier to use IMO. I also have half a dozen Geiselle maritime catches that I bought during a black friday sale for cheap, but they dont work with the mag releases.

Quote HistoryQuoted: This. I can use a non-ambi just fine, but I much prefer one with a few left hand friendly upgrades. Me, I’m not going to put up with using a non-optimal weapon in the off chance I might have to pick up some random gun and start using it. If I do have to, it won’t take but a second to re-acclimate to it. Of course there are some who are just issued whatever from a pool or are stuck with whatever is assigned to them, mounted in their vehicles, etc. I get that train of thought for them. I have zero concern about ever having to use someone elses rifle and not being able to adapt to it. This extremely unlikely scenario doesn't weigh heavily on the way I set up my personal rifles. In fact, I think everyone should be setting up their rifles for ambi just in case I have to use it at some point. #leftyshootersmatter |

I shoot left-handed and I used to be content with standard set up until I did an apple seed shoot shooting from the sling and realized how hard it is to change magazines when shooting off of my right elbow you know without getting out of my slung up position entirely.
The left hand magazine release is a must in my opinion unless you’re only shooting off hand or from a bench . That being said I will not buy a troy product and I recommend that none of you do either Of course Norgon Makes a left-handed magazine button and also the last one I bought was from some company called maximum velocity or something like that |

I’m left handed and left eye dominant. I’ve found my LWRCI to be what I needed without any of the compromises that my other build with all the aftermarket ambi parts has.
