Left handed gun's cost twice as much. I'm a right handed stroker. lol

I hear a m-4 jams worse than an AR, If you accidently sneeze in the action, you better break it down and clean it. I think I'd be happy with the ghetto gun.

Well as I've said before, I'm a lefty, which is why I dislike most side-ejecting guns unless they also add in a little forward-throw for my sake. Even if the brass doesn't hit me, it's still flying past my face the whole time. Sucks. I have a pretty interesting way of working a bolt action with my left hand, You oughta see it I'm just as fast as you are. Put my hand palm-down over the back end of the reciever, hook the thumb under the bolt, pull the thumb toward the hand and the bolt flips up... keep the bolt pinched between thumb and hand, slide back, eject, then push with the palm of the hand to run the next bullet in, then press down on the top of the reciever and let go with the thumb at the same time, which pushes the bolt down and locks it into place again. Not much leverage if I get a stuck case, but on a smooth-feeding rifle you wouldn't know from my silhouette or rate of fire that I'm a lefty working a right-handed bolt. Other than that, I made that lefty handle for my GP100. Never did get around to ordering a new chord for my camera. I'm so lazy about that kind of stuff... Ejecting from a revolver is a similar contortionist act. Push the button with the left hand, push the right side of the cylinder with the right (free) hand, shoving it all the way over, thumb through the frame. Grasp the cylinder with thumb and other fingers, thumb through frame, fingers underneath... Press the ejector rod with the right index finger.... This has the advantage of being a very firm cylinder/frame grasp, which is already in my off-hand, leaving my more dextrous hand for the task of reloading. The major drawback is that if I'm rapid-firing-reloading, I often get bad burns on my right thumb, which spends the whole time of reloading, shoved through the frame and resting on the forcing cone! HOT!!! Fortunately I've pretty thick skin on my tough ham hands.

Well, one of my close friends just finished building his left handed M4. He picked up a Stag Arms lefty reciever with a 16" barrel. He mated that to a DPMS lower with a T6 collapsable stock, and flip up tritium sights. He got the flat top reciever, perfect for the Eotech sight he is planning on buying. One of the benefits of being single :) No one tells him how to spend his money. His new M4 makes my cheap ol' Romanian AK47 look all ghetto, even with all the accoutrements I've bolted on. So, we got any other lefties in the tribe? If so, tell us about some of your left handed guns.
