Right and left hand stocks

I have no issues with left handed anything an I am lefty. The quote and published research I posted is more concrete than anything else posted in this thread. Find the research in any industry that states making strictly left handed products can be as profitble and I'll concede. I don't think you will. The markets bears what's profitable, not necessarily whats asked for.

You have not answered my question: Are you offended by ambi stocks?

Sorry thought my post did, but no I'm not at all, in fact I don't like even left handed thumb grip stocks simply because they never fit. If I wanted a custom grip I will have one made for me that fits my hand perfectly not pay an extra ? For a generalized fits okay deal 

Left eye dominant/right handed. 

I shoot a pistol right handed but rifles lefty. I want a left handed stock ALWAYS. I don’t really care about the action/bolt/cocking lever

I write with my right hand, scissors, throw a ball. 

I kick a ball left footed, goofy footed when snowboarding, skateboarding (not anymore), water skiing, shovel lefty, push brooms lefty. 



Question: the high dollar match rifles I see from FWB and Steyr that are super adjustable 8 ways till Sunday, are they considered ambidextrous since they have so many adjustments??

I'm right hand, right eye dominant and am at my best doing things right handed but through practice I am quite proficient at shooting, casting, hammering, sawing etc with either hand and don't hesitate to switch sides. I hear the complaints and understand - my wife is a lefty and both my son and daughter are right handed but left eye dominant and shoot bows, guns and slingshots on the left.

You would figure that the FX products would be ambidextrous as Fredrik Axelsson is a lefty.

I like woodworking and in addition to my own I have made a few left-handed stocks for my friends. Stock making is not difficult and a custom stock can be made using a table saw and some common tools. I did a "DIY Stock Making" report and it was posted on the PA site if anybody wants to check it out and make their own stock. Here is a link to Part 6 that has links to the rest of the report https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/?s=diy+gun+stock&btnGo= If you want to give it a go and have some questions don't hesitate to PM me.

I am right handed and left eyed.

I prefer a right handed action in a left handed stock, or the same action in an ambi stock will work for me equally as well. The usual factory route of sticking the basic rifle platform into a lefty or ambi stock to appease left handed customers works quite well for my tastes UNLESS it is a rear cocking bull pup.

I own a Vulcan, an Impact, and a pair of Wildcats solely because of the mid ship mounted cocking lever on the right side. The Taipan works OK on the bench for me, but that rear mounted lever was a sticking point.

Agreed. Probably stocks are set up and carved by computer. Should be easy to make a mirror image of stocks if not the other components as well.

An ambi stock is a poor excuse for a true lefty or right handed stock. I can't believe what I'm reading here, you buy guns based on what other folks that may occasionally shoot it prefer? I applaud the makers that offer true lefty stocks. For what it's worth, the TX200 is often the gun called out for this "problem", but they are actually easy to shoot either way. Once you feel the difference between an ambi and dedicated left hand stock, as a lefty shooter, you should know the correct answer on which to buy. There is only one downside and that is resale, but I don't buy guns to resale. That will be my daughters job, after I'm gone.
