List The Best True Ambi PCCs and Parts Please (Lefties Unite!)

[Joeg26er]

I'm a lefty and shopping for a true ambi PCC that has at least an ambi mag release

Last round bolt hold open would be nice too

 

I was going to get a complete JP GMR15 but that does not have ambi mag release

 

So far - Here's what I have found

 

CZ Scorpion Carbine $900 complete?

SIG MPX $1500 complete?

KE Arms (NO Uppers?) Complete lower with Free SLT1 Trigger $550

Gibbz  (No complete lowers, Side Charging uppers require special bolt) Rcvr Set price is $485

 

Please comment below with more and with any pros, cons, feedback and ideas and also what bolts and triggers to look for and which to avoid?

Considering building my own upper or going with a Taccom ULW complete upper for $500ish?

sorry could not resist lol

My MPX is working out great for me as a left hand long gun operator. 

[Joeg26er]

@TISCHLJ please share your mpx setup? Round count? Weight? Any issues   Best sources of magazines? Tips?

[Neomet]

The Gibbz, while having a nice ambi release, uses a left side charging handle which is sorta clunky to use as a lefty.  If you go that route I would wait until their full LH upper is out (around a month last I checked).  Their receivers are very high quality.

MPX is my primary USPSA gun and the Gibbz is my backup...

My Lefty JP. I know, not the best solution but it works for me.

Just build a Colt pattern AR9 and use whatever ambi AR controls you like.  I add safety, mag release, charging handle, and extended bolt catch.

Oh yeah, I remember now! I think I tried half a dozen different rifles that day. I didn't even realized that was it. Hey, thanks again for letting me shoot it.

home-depot provided materials. kitchen table project. lol.

Looks like it should work well.  Certainly have enough leverage on the release spring!!

@edwin garcia interested in the details

@mahamoti

[jkrispies]

I used a 3/4" wide aluminum bar stock as the material for the extended paddle. Paddle has an inverted 'L' shape. Had to drill/tap the mag button to attach the paddle, i think i used 2, 8/32" X 1/2" aluminum machine screw. I may have built 4 prototypes to finally match the reach of my thumb without interfering with the other controls. One of the prototypes was short and took extra effort to reach. The current one is spot on.

I use radian raptor ambi charging handle.

Yes, the length of the paddle does make it feel like a 1911/2011 extended mag-release

I don't have any great photos of mine, but I'm a lefty and shoot a Colt pattern PCC without any trouble. Ambi charging handle, norgon-style ambi mag release, and an ambi safety. I put it together for a cost that is negligibly-higher than a normal build. 

 

Here's a video of the last classifier I shot to show you how my reloads go:

While mine isn't used for PCC, I do have a 5.5", surpassed AR9 what has a Cross Machine and Tool billet, ambidextrous receiver set.  It's good stuff
