Could use AR barrel nuts, everything else AR-xxx; the bolt throw would be what, 30-45*? Even leave a weaker spring in the buffer tube to assist in closure if desired...
Could a standard upper be modified to do this, I wonder.
The bolt in an AR turns opposite from a bolt action rifle.
The bolt handle would move up to lock and down to unlock.
For a left handed handle it would be the same as a bolt action rifle, down to lock and up to unlock.
