M1A LEFT EJECTION HAND CONVERSION

[Woŕknstif]

I am a left handed shooter and interested in buying an M1A. Is there or has there ever been one made that ejects to the left ? Are there any conversions made that I can buy ? I have never shot one and don't know if this is necessary or not. Thanks for any opinions.

Not an option.

Not an option.

Thanks Han, You confirmed what I was thinking. I'll just go to the range and shoot a box of shells through one. From what l've been reading it sounds like it works well for left handers.

Sorry about the Han, Hans.

I am a southpaw.
Have had almost no issue with a modern sporting rifle left handed. Exception is the Steyr AUG . My m1a, ar15’s and .308’s have had zero issue with left hand shooting. Only rifle ever to give me issue was my AUG. i had to buy a dedicated case deflector

Thanks Killer Ford, I appreciate the reply. It seems like most of the members feel the same way. I'll just go to the range, fire a few rounds and go ahead and buy one. Thanks again.

Well, I’ll be danged !

at $2600 for a lefty, I would be fine with the regular m1a from Springfield for $1000 less though

I am a left handed long rifle shooter and I love my M1A. I have no problems with it as is.

No "left-hand" twist in the barrel?

I shoot mine right handed, but I can also shoot them left handed if there is a need to.

I know several left handed guys that shoot the M14 right handed, it's lefty friendly.
