I'm a left handed shooter, and the only gun I've owned that I changed from righty to lefty was my Winchester Model 1400 Ranger 12ga.  All I needed to do with that was buy a new trigger group for LH shooters...any possibility of doing that with your Remy?

sorry for the multiple, and identical, posts.  The network I was on kept giving me error pages :dunno: and I kept trying to post my reply.

Some firearms are built to have a reversible safety and others aren't. I have not heard of any aftermarket drop-in kits that allow for reversing a safety. Have you looked for a manual online?

Nothing like a Remington model 700xcr.

You should be able to buy a RH trigger group direct from Remington, knock out the two pins and drop in the new set up.
