I shoot left handed comfortably and right handed somewhat well. If by chance I want to experiment changing a Savage 12 VLP to left hand use is it possible?. I know get a left handed in the 1st place BUT I like to experiment.
I know the Stock would have to be changed but is just the bolt different? Just curious.

thanks

ramp angles and lugs have to be cut for opposite direction use. and the handle slot. then if you want the other slot filled?

I've done it myself for a good friend. Works perfectly.

Would I do it again? NO !!

The work is not worth it. As stated above SSS gets $250 sooo...

Sell your right hand action and use the money for a left hand action.
