I have handled, but like a fool didn't buy, a Sedgley left hand conversion of a M1903. The bolt was totally reworked, and the receiver heavily modified. It was not a mirror image, though, and ejection was still to the right. The cutoff was in the normal position and the safety was standard.
IMHO, making one is not a job the average gunsmith should tackle, and it certainly is not a DIY with a file and a Dremel tool. I think anyone taking on such a job without a pattern or experience would be very likely to ruin both the bolt and the receiver.
