| Has anyone been able to convert one to be used in a Stag upper? Thanks Mike |
| I don't think it would be possible. The ejectors are built into the guide rails so you would need to fabricate a left ejecting one. You would also have to fabricate a new bolt that has clearance for the new ejector position and reverse the extractor to the opposite side. Basically other than a few parts like the springs and extractor, all of the main parts would have to be heavily modified or fabricated. |

Has anyone been able to convert one to be used in a Stag upper? Thanks Mike I too have a Stag lefty and I have a Spikes .22 upper that I posted a while back wondering much the same thing. Looks like there should be some way to assemble and modify the spikes bolt to eject to the left so that a conversion bolt would work in the left upper. But spikes doen't see much of a market for it. don't know if it would be a do-it-yourself project.I thought of getting an inexpensive bolt used and attempting the modification myself. Haven't got there yet. noone sells them cheap used.

Pull your bolt carrier and look at what would have to be done to make it work in a right hand receiver.
What's needed is a mirror image bolt. This is not something a little tweaking will fix. The extractor's on the wrong side, the rail goes right across the port, EVERYTHING'S BACKWARDS! A good machinist ought to be able to do this, but I can't afford his lathe /mill hours. |

Thanks for the lesson  I was just wondering if anybody has done it yet i guess i will have to be the first but when
who the hell knows. |

I will build one myself but like i said before when it will be who knows too many projects going on now.I just wanted to know if it has been done yet.
