There is (or was) a pre-owned left-handed Bradley Arms AR-15 available in .223 on another forum. It would just need the barrel changed to .300 Blackout.
Mark Bradley built my left handed AR-15 or more correctly a left hand operated AR-15. It uses a normal upper with right side ejection port, shell deflector and dust cover but the left side is machine out to take the cocking handle. An ambi safety and ambi mag release completes the package.
My first AR-15 had the side charging DPMS upper but the charging handle wasn't in the "right" place ie too far forward for smooth operation

Re: Left-hand ARs
My buddy is a Lefty and he had one made by Bradley Arms. I second the quality of them as I have one too and I doubt I will ever sell it willingly!

Re: Left-hand ARs
My Southern Gun Co Speedmaster is ambidextrous. If you visit Bob's website, you can build your own rifle. I see a left hand cocking upper receiver is offered in the selection, as are other lefty options.

Re: Left-hand ARs
If you have owned/shot one left handed it's far from ideal if you are shooting unsupported. You have to break position every time and the charging handle is not attached to the bolt. You may disagree but I speak from experience using in competitions.Dark Skies wrote: ↑Wed Mar 15, 2023 1:19 am My Southern Gun Co Speedmaster is ambidextrous.

Re: Left-hand ARs
I am left-handed but shoot right-handed. It's not an issue on my rifle as it comes with a nice roller handle on the right and a folding handle on the left. Plus a T charger - I have all the ways to crank. However, the OP wanted lefty options and I obliged.channel12 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 9:53 pmIf you have owned/shot one left handed it's far from ideal if you are shooting unsupported.

Re: Left-hand ARs
I am actually right handed but because of vision issues with my right eye I have to shoot rifles from the left shoulder. I really wish it was otherwise but it was a case of adapt and overcome.Dark Skies wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 1:56 pmI am left-handed but shoot right-handed.
