Mason4796 Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Very frustrating to find that both Browning and Winchester do not offer left handed variants on the popular semi auto models (Maxus, A5, SX4 etc) do you think they will ever cater for a few of us lefties? Alternatively what is a good alternative without going down the route of the Turkish hatsans and armsans of this world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPhantom Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I think you can change the cast on the Maxus with the shims supplied with the gun. You can definitely adjust the drop, as I did with mine and I vaguely remember you can adjust the cast too. Perhaps any Maxus owners can confirm (as I no longer own mine).

Actually scrub that, as you probably mean a dedicated leftie so the spent cartridge doesn't fly in front of your face when you shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing you get is the very occasional flame as it ejects, maybe 1 in 300, still doesnt bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I have a left handed Benelli Super Black Eagle for wildfowling. Bought it as I needed a gun for steel shot. Works a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There appears to be none where the action is reversed to shoot cartridges out of the other side away from my face! It seems a shame when there are many devoted and loyal left handed fans of Browning and Winchester! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Beretta, Benelli, Franchi and Fabarm all make left hand action semi autos. Some like Armsan still leave the bolt release button on the right hand side which I personally find awkward especially with gloves on.

Scully Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) https://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/373484-left-handed-browning/ Here you go; cracking gun. Link not working for some reason; I must have done something wrong. Anyhow, have a look at Wabbitbosher's left handed Remi' 1100 in the 'trade' guns section.
