I’ve probably come in late to the discussion but for what it is worth. I can confirm in Oz that for the AUSSTEYR with lefties it is also the case of switching ejection ports (just moving the cover over) and changing the ejector claw attached to the bolt (no surprise there). Cocking handle stays in the same spot. The position of the cocking handle is the main concern from the lefties that I’ve spoken to as the design requires them to remove their master hand from the trigger grip when cocking the weapon, particularly when carrying out their IA drills. Some do practice using their non-master hand however they feel that if they do have a stoppage and the weapon isn’t firing, then it doesn’t matter if they take their master hand off the trigger grip to clear the stoppage.
