Any lefty AR shooters on here?

DID,
You don't need a dedicated left-handed AR - just a normal AR rigged for ambidextrous use.
The four parts needed are;- Ambi charge handle.
- Ambi safety selector.
- Ambi slide locking lever (preferably an ambi lower)
- Ambi mag release.
The Raptor from Radianweapons is a reputable ambi charge handle.
Battle Arms Development make good quality safety selectors. Geiselle is another reputable ambi safety selector choice.
Ambi lower, for example from Zev (formerly Mega Arms). Or type in 'ambi lower' to Rainier Arms website. If you get a dedicated ambi lower the slide unlocking lever will be supplied.
Ambi mag release from Kights (KAS). Or Norgon if you want a slimmer profile. There are others.

I shoot left handed, but, like you, I'm right handed, left eye dominant.
Shooting an AR left handed is no issue if you get, like Klem suggested, the appropriate Ambi accessories, particularly the charging handle. You can live (and shoot well) without the rest.
I like the challenge to be able to use both right and left actions. I can swap to a buddies set up, shoot right handed, right eyed and do just about as well on the target. Just got to get used to the different coordination that's involved.
At least I'll never get bored, LOL.

With bullpup rifles like the Steyr you need dedicated LH bolts.
Actually the AR is very forgiving for left handed shooting, either for Lefties or when doing bilateral CQB. With ambi controls, shooting a normal AR left-handed is no handicap at all.

True to all above I agree.
I have shot RH shotguns only and still do. I got a fleck of powder in the eye from my old 1100 one time while hunting and that sealed the deal on shooting RH gas guns ever again hunting.
All my bolt guns are lefty as well, just started that way."The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.
