    Question Left handed 300 blackout?

    So I shoot left handed and I have a theory that if I spend a certain amount on a rifle it has to be lefty. So my question is, is it as simple as buying a stripped stag left hand upper(5.56), left hand bcg(5.56), charging handle, barrel(300 blackout), gas system, flash hider and take it to my favorite gunsmith(bptactical) and have him assemble it? Or does it take a special bolt(obviously it has to be left handed)? I have tried doing research but haven't gotten any good solid answers. Please excuse my ignorance I have a lot to learn yet.

    Haters and shit talkers need not respond.

    Thanks.

    You will find it difficult to resell a lefty rifle if you ever decide to move on to something else.
    Being a southpaw rifle shooter myself, I just adapted to a righthand world as far as rifles go, especially semi-auto rifles.

    To a point true. The L/handed AR's that come up for sale don't last long.
    Now trying to sell anything 40 S&W that i agree is a losing deal

    I just hate the shells going in front of my face. On top of that I'm not going to let righty hold me down!

    I am right handed but my right eye has a astigmatism. I have shot left handed w/ a right handed M-16/ Ar15 platform since 1990.....

    Why do you need a left hand rifle?

    EDIT- Never mind I see above. Because you don't like brass flying in front of your face. Good point!

    Correct me if I am stupid... And it is very very possible that I am...

    But I thought a 300blk conversion was only a barrel switch... Same mags, same upper, same bolt, same everything except barrel-

    I thought this was the major appeal of the conversion over 6.8 etc.

    If I am right then it wouldn't matter if it was a lefty or righty gun... Just barrel swap the lefty???

    Some folks, such as myself, prefer to at least have a complete upper if not the whole weapon for each caliber. It keeps the parts bin cleaner.
    I would rather hoard a complete rifle versus multiple bins of unused parts.......
    The wife was just watching that show on hoarders and giving me the "stink eye".

    I guess that's my question, does anything have to be done with the bolt or is it the same EXACT bolt as the 5.56...
