Iwas sure I saw one in the Brownell catalog but cannot find it. Or it was a dream. Does anyone know if there is such a creature in the after market? I called the tech at Brownell and they didn't know. I leafed thrlugh the Midway and Brownell ( #58) catalog without any luck.

Any and all advice appreciated.

I hand a local gunsmith reverse the button on the safety so I operate it left handed. Right Handed - Left Eyed. It can be done. He just has to backfill some material a little on one side when reversing the button.

I don't see one in the Brownells #60 book either ,I would call Vang Comp and see if they make a lefthanded unit like the right handed one that Brownells sells.
If your looking for just the replacement part Numrich probably will have it.

EEEEK. My local smith will convert it to Left hand for $30.00. Looks like he gets the business. I had it out and it looks like you have to drill out a passage for the retainer pin and a pocket for the detent ball and modify the pin. Time to tune up the drill press ans mill.
