Personally I think that those lefty upper mods are just a waste of money/a way to show off to other people that you have money to spend on unless things.Which is ok I suppose but i just think in the grand shecme of things at least for self loading firearms if your left handed it works just fine without modification.

What do you guys think?

I looked into a left handed upper. The company that makes them is Stag Arms. They are comparable in price but the company has a 2 year waiting list. Ouch!
