Ok- so no one here has one to sell. Any suggestions on where to look? I watch GunBroker and GunsAmerica daily... Thanks for the input.

I'm not 100 percent sure but I don't believe that Anschutz made a 54.18 MSR in a left handed version. I think that some early versions of the MS that weren't re[eaters were made in a left handed version. I've also seen a 1907 left that was turned into a repeater and put into a silhouette stock.

One of the older shooters from our Mesa club had one that was left handed, he sold it to another lefty at the club. That is the only one that I've seen, Mike doesn't shoot silhouette hardly anymore, if he is interested in selling it, I will have him contact you!

Anschutz never made MSR lefties. I have one I made from a 1907. I had 2 MS's, sold one to Mical Bowling. Wimpy has one and so does Troy Lawton (his son is left handed). Not many were made, fewer for sale. I looked for 2 years before I found one. Easiest way is to just buy a barreled action and go from there.......I also saw one 1808 lefty but missed it.....come to think of it, Wimpy's is an 1808 not a 54.14.

I guess I better change my title to 54.18 MS. I will keep looking until I find one. Any tips greatly appreciated!! I have seen a few Lefty 1907 models for sale used- I think they still sell them new also. That will be my backup plan. Who does the conversion to repeater? Which barreled action would you recommend, Mr. Steiger? 1907 (single shot), 1827 (repeater with Fortner bolt), or other if I have to go that more expensive route?

You can also get a 1827 Fortner action only and have one made into a left had as he has in his Avitar, my friend did that and it worked very well. Order a short magazine well and the short magazines and they work great.

Nice stock for a great price but it is a left handed stock with a right bolt- odd combination. Thanks for the tip anyway.
