Did a search and couldn't find anything definitive. Got close on one.
Where can I order a barrel with an ambi-extension. I am coming up dry. I got my hands on a Stag Left Hand upper, but now it looks like it would have been easier to order the whole damn upper. I guess I should mention I am looking for a 16" M4 profile with chrome lining and a threaded muzzle and F marked front sight. (I can do the sight my self, not a big deal.) |

Stag and WOA are your only options for the ambi-extension. There are also several custom makers what will make you a stainless barrel with ambi extension. Nobody other than Stag makes a chrome lined barrel with ambi-extension.
Left-handed bolts work fine with regular (non-ambi extensions). Just find the barrel you want and install it. |

How about DPMS barrels, they have a rigged left hand upper. So should their barrels have an ambi-extension also? |

Stag is the only one that makes the ambi barrel extension that I am aware of. |

Trust me on this and save yourself the headache…
You do not “need” an ambi barrel extension! I started out driving myself nuts looking for barrels with ambi extensions for my lefty builds. And then a mfg. friend of mine told me not to worry about it… the left handed bolt works just as well in a normal barrel extension. He was right and life is so much easier now! |
