Hey, does anyone know of someone who makes a left handed upper besides Stag Arms?
And how about making a bolt work for it? Can I use a 7.62x39 bolt? Can't specifically find anyone that makes a true 6.5 Grendel bolt. I don't think anyone makes them. Thanks guys.

No left handed Grendel uppers. If you headspaced it correctly and found a left handed 7.62 bolt you could do it, but 7.62 bolt quality has been spotty in the past.
I know a few lefty's and the consensus is that a left handed AR is not needed.
get an AMBI selector, sling plate, possibly bolt release but that is truly not necessary.
I asked the same question at the gun shop and was told nobody makes a bolt for the 65G with the left handed extractor.
Ya I like the brass not flying across my face. All my other guns are lefties. Was hoping to do the same here. Have to ponder this awhile. Thanks for the input.
Well, the left hand build is going to happen. I believe I have it worked out. I will post picks as time passes. I found A left handed bolt that will work and a couple minor chamber adjustments and we should be a go.... This may be the first left hand Grendel in existence when done. Giddeee up!!
There is a company here in Idaho that makes a complete ambidextrous ar15 that can eject the spent case to the right or the left and are working on a lefty Grendel. Their billet upper is so slick and smooth and can be bought as a kit to convert any rifle to an ambi they also offer the upper receiver in Lefty and a standard righty. They are Qualityarmsidaho.com take a look at the video which shows the prototype in action.
Just finished the custom left hand build and it is sweeeet! pics are up.
