The left-handers' forum on AR has served as a clearing house of sorts for some of these special runs of left-handed rifles that've shown up the last couple of years; i.e., the Zastava Mausers, the stainless Ruger Hawkeyes, the initial offering of left-handed short action Ruger Hawkeyes, etc. That kind of traffic needs to happen here.
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum. I do tend to fit in well wherever I go in person. The campfire is the most outside exposure I get. No TV, no newspaper.

An old friend makes a return. My LH 700 KS will be back in my hands soon. Here's what it looked like when I sold it. ![[Linked Image]](http://i869.photobucket.com/albums/ab255/nsaqam/700KS/700KS001.jpg) It's killed 8 BG animals since I sold it including a sheep and a goat. It's also been Cerakoted.

I seem to have dragged a few LH castoffs home myself, It would be neat to have a LH forum so my LH rifles could socialize!

I just got one of those bent-barreled stainless Hawkeye .223s last night. The barrel is bent off to the LEFT!!!! I'll try and post pictures later today. On the bright side it has one of the best trigger pulls of any factory Ruger 77.

We're wearing Rick down guys, keep it up! 1600+ views in a forum without too much traffic is pretty good. C'mon Rick, throw us lefties a bone here.

Here's my bent .223 Hawkeye barrel: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l553/model99savage/P1120490_zps8d96286b.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l553/model99savage/P1120489_zps1e7119d4.jpg) It seems more acute looking at it in-person, but a bend can definitely be seen in the photographs.

How in the hell does a BENT barrel make it out of the shop?!?! That's the $64,000 question. Especially after Ruger has prided themselves on barrel quality for the past twenty years with their investment in barrel making infrastructure.

It also seems odd that the small caliber barrels are bent, and not the larger caliber. Should be just opposite? Seems they are picking on lefties, bent barrels cracked stocks! But they are making LH rifles!

How do two (at least) bent barrels get out? Something was seriously out of whack on the screw-the-barrel-in machine - or someone was seriously asleep while running it. My .223 arrived back at the factory this past Wednesday, 1/15. We'll see how long it takes to get back here. Hopefully they'll be so ashamed these all got out that they'll put one of their super duper extra accurate barrels on it.

Just got a PM over on accuratereloading from a member there who bought one of these leftie .223's. His barrel is also bent.
Somebody at Ruger really screwed the pooch on these.

We deserve a Left Handers Forum just because so many lefties have so many great looking rifles.
I hope that Rick will see the left hand light.
It's pretty bright.

Rick, how many lumens will it take to get us our forum?
