Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Plus, the STAG guns still have the bolt catch on the left side of the receiver (it's only the upper receiver that's been changed around). Pretty much the main advantage to having a left hand gun is ease of reload, and with ARs, that means being able to hit the bolt catch when reloading. But STAG's leftie ARs don't even give lefties that ability. So until someone comes up with left-handed lower receivers, as well as uppers, the utility is minimized.

One thing savage is good about is having fully left handed rifles in every class (rimfire, centerfire hnting, centerfire competition, tactical).

Whole different category of guns, but im thinking other companies should follow. Im right handed but one of my friends is lefty and has trouble finding guns.
