    SIDE EJECT LEVER FOR LEFTY?

    I was wondering If I'm going to have issues with trajectory of side eject Henry or Marlin rifle seeings that I'm left handed?
    would LGS allow me to load with snap caps and try it out? Or would the trajectory of a cap be different than a expended round?

    You won't have any issues with the empties ejecting. The ejection port is far enough forward so that you don't even notice them. If you use it for hunting you'll be watching the animal after the shot and it won't really matter.

          I'm a lefty and I prefer RH ejection for multiple reasons. Shotgun, ar-15, 795, and my 336. As far as the lever goes, the brass just swings out and bounces off my forearm. My only rifle that does this btw. Not at all an issue. Doesn't affect my accuracy, form, or function. Not at all distracting either. My focus is visually down range. While my hands manipulate/maintain the firearm.

            I understand Winchester 94AE has angle eject? Does the round eject from top and deflect on angle? They have a Winchester 94 357/38 at my local LGS, made in Japan..price tag is $1100

                My father in-law just ordered a stag 2L from rifle gear. 1k out the door(special ordered). Should be in next week. His first MSR at that. I expressed the advantages of lefties shooting RH ejection till I was blue in the face. He still wouldn't have it. Oh well; I guess I'm just more open minded.

                  I have left and right handed ARs.

                  The biggest advantage to a LH AR is that if a case ruptures, the gases and bits of molten metal are directed away from the face of LH shooters.

                  Saying that, the best use for a left handed AR is to throw brass back at rude people who don't watch where their brass lands from the right handed ARs.

                    My AR15 upper is a Stag lefty and I have had no problems with it.

                      I have a 94AE in 44 magnum and have no problems at all with the ejection as a lefty. And I have shoot tens of thousands of rounds through it. One of my favorite rifles.
