    I use a Stag lefty safety, but keep everything else pretty much stock.

    Thinking about a Rainier Raptor at some point in the future, though.

    Also...I was running a badger ordnance tac latch on the right side for a while and I really liked it. I decided to switch because the way I was charging the rifle was to actually just knife hand the charging handle back toward me and I wasnt overly confident in either my methed or the structure of the tac latch. I also have a motto..." If BCM makes something that replaces the thing you're currently using...it's time to upgrade." Lol

    I'm a hardcore lefty, & I think that Troy ambi mag release is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I've got a Noveske endplate and have ordered a BCM ambi selector. I also just installed but have not yet shot with a Troy ambi bolt release. I'm familiar with the issues folks have had with the BAD lever inducing failure to lock back problems, and if that happens I''ll probably yank it; but being able to release the bolt from the right side is a big deal for me. I dont like having to reach around to drop the bolt.

    Have you tried releasing the bolt with your left index finger, or index and middle fingers? I don't have large hands, but that's the way I release the bolt from the left side. Of course, moot point if you can't reach.

    I really wish that some one that builds to a better quality then bush master would have gotten the lead out and bought the Magpul Masada..the control interface on that weapon system are damn near ideal. Especially for us short handed lefties..

    Back to your regular programming.,,

    On a side note: switching from troy to b.a.d. ambi safeties. The troy right side selector has been seperating. The dovetail setup not up to task.

    I had this issue with my Troy selector as well. I had to loosen the cap that holds the detent in the offending side to allow it a little more bite and it fixed the problem. There were no issues until I had uninstalled and reinstalled it a few times.

    I run the ambi safety and a Raptor. The bolt catch is an easy reach with my trigger finger. Want to try an ambi mag release but haven't yet.

    I'm a lefty shooter as well and considering purchasing the B.A.D. A.S.S. I was wondering what the differences are between the BAD ASS, BAD CASS, Hybrid, Specialized 45 degree...

    DiabhailGadhar, email inbound, we'd like to replace your BAD-ASS 90 degree center with the current production unit. Back in Feb. of 2012, there were some in the batch that were harder to rotate, the new centers incorporate all the improvements we've made since 2010 They have improved detent groove depth, shoulder, angle and holes, the result is a smooth rotating selector without being mushy (which some users mentioned, as the first generation of BAD-ASS centers had a deeper detent groove), and positive detent engagement.

    RE: BAD-ASS vs. BAD-CASS, we posted the info here https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=112484

    Info on the 45 degree selector can be found here https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=82851

    About the levers, almost all of the LE agency purchases have been equipped with standard (left side) and short (right side) levers, this configuration happens to be the most popular, and most usable for the majority of users. If you'd like to try other levers, we have a free lever exchange program just for that, so your choice in levers isn't final at the time of purchase.

    Re: What have you lefty shooters done to your AR?

    I'm currently running a norgon mag release and while it gets the job done I feel that a kac unit would be a more efficient setup due to the added length back toward the rear grip. Just something to think about. I noticed only a couple mentions about ambi endplates. I'm currently running a magpul asap and while I like the simplicity I'd like to swap out to the noveske qd.
