Any Lefty Shooting the T97NSR?

T97 and lefties

Any south-paws fire this monster yet? I'm curious if the ejected brass hellishly close to da face!

Solution. Brass catcher. Maybe?

I'm guessing a mod merged your thread. Flamage may ensue, as now u look to have asked after 20 people posted before u haha.

I'm wondering if this A2 or A3 AR15 deflector might be adapted to the T97?
I'm a leftie that just finished shooting a friend's T97 and one case bounced off my shooting glasses! The other 19 no problems but they did make me flinch a little on their way past.

So how come you guys aren't angling the rifle slightly so the ejector is facing a bit down and using the left outer edge as a cheek rest? It's a well known method for shooting bullpups on the weak side shoulder. It works. You left handers can still use the sights (Won't be able to use the iron sights on your weak side though, at least I can't), especially if going to a red dot. It avoids the T97 herpes (I liked that one it was funny). It's tried and true for the other bullpups. Until there are deflectors or other things made for you guys I would think less reinventing the wheel would be going on. Trying to help Left handed fellow gunnutz avoid looking like they financed their T97 by working on Davies street!!

When I get the rifle I'll explore making a case deflector with my vacuum former.

Case deflector would be good. How difficult would it be to use a 3-D printer to make a left hand bolt? An ejection port can be cut in and the other side covered over.

I'd make a case deflector that screws in like what's on the XCR-M. I'm left handed and that case deflector keeps the brass from hitting me every time.

Please ignore my bad shaving. Look at my upper lip with the red spot.

So unless you want to move your head a little back, don't shoot it with your left hand.

No shaving, time to grow a mustache

hello

cant compare with a FAMAS but while it was completely lefty friendly for unit purpose we always shot with the right action ... never had an issue so it depends certainly has some shown the handling is the answer ...

 

[thebutcher]

I gave my T97 to my brother to work on to see if he can rig up a shell deflector of some kind for us lefties. I'll let you know what we come up with.

tagged for interest,..should I pick one up,.. a shell deflector that works would be handy!

 

[Gorno]

Tagged. This rifle needs to be lefty friendly!

 

[Deckard]

I made a vacuum former for the purpose of crafting a deflector for southpaws.
