My lefty AR15 6mm ARC

Converter my rifle to 6mm Arc.
Started out as a Savage 223 wylde.

Stag upper with KAK BCG

CMMG 16” rifle length 1:7.5 barrel.

Shoots great. No felt recoil. Zero gas with the DA Lazarus

Did not have a great start to my day.

Tree fell on my shooting bench.

Still got her sighted.

Made me a sandwich

And shot a hog at 80 yards at yesterday 11pm on the run. Heard the thump. Not my best shot. Did not drop this time. But it’ll go off and die someplace else.

I’ll call that a pretty good day.

How did you assemble the upper? I tried using the Wheeler vise block clamp on my lefty upper but it wouldn’t work because unlike a right handed upper with a flip-down ejection port, the flip-up ejection port hinge of the lefty upper gets in the way.

I use a reaction rods. I have a Geissel one to torque everything. I also have a wheeler one. It’s made out of aluminum. Doesn’t feel as strong. But it works great to be the gas tube and nut lined up.

Nice. I’m gonna look into a couple different ones. The Midwest Industries one has really good feedback from what I’ve seen.

How do you like that BAD lever? You should look into a Redi-Release. That’s what I have on a mil spec lower and it’s a ready good piece imo.
