This may be a stupid question to those with experience, but I'm left-handed and I'm really curious about what options are available for a guy like me.
My brother-in-law just got his Rock River lower and a custom upper (can't remember who did it) and it's one sweet weapon. I have a harder time using it though because everything is backwards (like all guns for me).
Anyone know of any lefty AR-15 options?

I'm a lefty, and I think lefty uppers for AR15s are a big waste.
As long as you have a brass deflector on your upper (which most uppers will have), you are good to go. Never been hit by my own brass.
But to make your rifle more lefty friendly, the DPMS ambi safety is a must have, for only $30-35. Best upgrade ever! Also an oversized charging handle latch (I use a Badger and a PRI, both are great) is a good value for $15-25. Finally, if you want to go all out, the Norgon ambi mag release is great, but pricey at $90. Don't have to have it, but it does make mag changes a lot faster, which will help if you shoot any matches.
Everything else is unnecessary, in my experience.
