Has Air Arms ever offered the ProSport in either an ambidextrous or left hand stock? I have never seen a factory ProSport in anything that could be comfortably shot by a lefty like myself. Is there such an animal, or is this a white elephant?
Air Arms Left Hand ProSport???
- Thread starter Pellets&Pistons-(Razor62)
- Start date
Wouldn’t hurt to inquire at PA/Air Venturi. If really recent change there may be unsold inventory at Air Arms. If so, PA/AV could special order.

was the lefty Pro a true lefty IE: the loading port more open for a lefty ? OR just the stock as lefty ? The gun is an underlever so either hand to cock but loading port opening would be wider .

True lefty, loading port open to left. Not just a stock change.
If inquiring about unsold inventory ask for sub-12 as well as FAC. Changing one to other is easily done.

I just checked AGS in Canada. They have 6 different TX’s in left. Drive me crazy. Not one of those available in right. Ironic. I wanted one. Unfortunately no Pro Sports. Good luck, maybe you can find 2nd hand. It’s worth the look. Crow

I just shot a Pro Sport yesterday. Both mine are right. But sitting here thinking, I load with my left hand with no issue. Wish the breach was open like the 77. Just a little tight. This gun has it all. Crow

Excellent!!!! Now, off to find an unstocked Pro Sport.... As a lefty, I feel persecuted and shunned by the airgun manufacturing community....

To the best of my knowledge, there are only 2 vintage lefty ProSports. The story is that the owner of Air Arms at the time, Bill Sanders and his production manager were both left-handed. They took 2 ProSports off the line and had the loading port cut on the left side of the gun. Both of these guns were placed into custom stocks. We know where both of these guns are today. Later a run of about 50 ProSports were made with left-handed walnut stocks on right-handed actions.
In 2011 a short run of actual fully left-handed ProSports were made and later discontinued. Again these were available in walnut only.
Many have claimed to have or have seen other vintage lefty's but they all trace back to the same two guns mentioned above. If anyone knows of another we would love to see it.
Fantastic guns in any configuration! Possibly the most handsome production springer of all time.

They show part numbers for both but the Part #7 was discontinued in 2011 and is no longer available. I would be happy to snag one if they are ever made available again.

Interesting. Somehow one was ordered in 2024. Loading port is not on right side.
That's great. I wonder if there are still one or two available somewhere? Grabe em' if you can get em'!

"Enough" Is a relative term, my friend....
Three of the "Eagles" landed today... The word "pleased" would be a gross understatement. I'll be in touch soon.Upvote 0
Dont know why they just don't go ambi . Lefty is a smaller market then right but why keep alienating a market segment over this ?
Its not just them but these gun companies just cant adjust / just will not .. cough h cough w.
