Just an update....bamaboy installed some ambi type hardware on his carbine. The hardware change allows him to run the AR platform in a conventional manner, but from his left shoulder. His manipulation of the carbine now appears backwards from any right handers, but he utilizes the same motions only lefthanded.

He can now run the safety lever, mag changes and bolt latch without the awkwardness associated with running the right handed AR, left handed. Some practice with the new arrangement has him up to speed with the right handers on his team, and all hands seem satisfied. And he will continue to shoot the rifle from his "off" left shoulder, with his dominant left eye.
