My kid just upgraded to a Bison Armory left hand service rifle upper to start using optics. She was using a right hand A2 with ambi mag release. Is there anything she should be aware of switching?

I shoot right handed, left is foreign to me. The only thing I see is being careful not to drop the mag trying to close the bolt during rapids.

I’m not a lefty either, but one issue I am aware of from my lefty friends, is that she will have to learn to manage the windage turret with some body English to avoid screwing up her position.

I shoot lefty and use a right eject upper and never had any problems. I prefer the Norgen style mag release and a Colt or Stag safety single side safety that can be swapped the other side

I slow fire prone its nice to able to see in the upper.

She is a lefty so she will adapt like she has been her whole life

She finally shot it at a mid range match. The range doesn’t allow muzzle above horizontal when loading. It was her first time using a left upper, optics and loading with it in her shoulder. The left hand port made it easy loading with it shouldered.

Her 20 round scores started 78% and 80% and half way through jumped to 90% and 91%, a personal best. She said she figured out her sling was slipping causing her to string vertically.

Awesome. She will start to climb as she learns to call her shots and debug herself.
