^ Not sure about the validity of this info, but on another forum someone posted the following:
AFAIK - LH Model 70's were available in at least 10 different versions over the years.
Left hand Model 70's were introduced in 1997 in the somewhat earlier Classic Sporter, the Classic Sporter BOSS & Classic Sporter Stainless - all on standard production (non-Custom Shop) lines.
The LH option also became available in the Featherweight Classic WSM standard production (non-Custom Shop) line in 2003.
The Custom Shop made LH M-70's in the Classic Custom African & Safari Express (2000-2006 - not in .470 Capstick), Custom Ultimate Classic (1997 intro), Classic Custom Short Action (2001 intro), Custom Extreme Weather (2000-2005) & Extreme Lightweight Weather II (2006) on the Custom Shop production line.
