Thanks everyone, for your input and advice. Still toying with the idea of building a left-handed gun around this barrel, simply for the sake of making something different. I myself am a southpaw but aside from eating and writing I do everything else
right-handed. I have a brother who is right-handed but shoots a gun with his
left hand.
On the other hand (no pun intended)I have everything needed to build a "normal" rifle. Decisions, decisions............
