I was digging through my collection and found a couple righties. I think they are the no drain hole variety, what guns were they used on? Age? Scarcity? Should I try to find a lefty to complete these?

what guns were they used on?
602, early XM16E1, early 604, 605

Age?
What ever years the rifles above were made. (This will give you a pretty good idea of age going off the models listed above. Dates are listed at the top of the linked post.)

Scarcity?
Harder to find than the drain hole HG's.

Should I try to find a lefty to complete these?
Sure, especially if your building one of the above rifles & details matter to you.

Semms like LH side ones are always the missing ones. Is that because they get dropped on the ground in laager on their LH side?

I guess that's good, then, since I was finally assembling my 602 upper this morning and busted a tooth off the right side...

Good time to be the master of repairing these plastic pieces. Appears like you need a doner tooth and a few members have no drains reasonably priced if it matters that much to you. Doubt if a 602 clone will see much action but any A-1 HG's that see any real use are gonna break teeth. Think I'd find a replacement for show and use a beater set when shooting rifle. Hard to break broken teeth.
