I am John Vlk. New the the THR. I hope I am doing this correctly.
I have a new CZ VZ58 rifle. I have been trying to find out if anyone has such a rifle.
I have been looking for a way that the Czech military loads the 30 round mags.
I have tried the SKS Stripper clips, they work sometimes. There must be a better way.
I was hoping for a Maglula type of loader. Is there such a thing ?

Newbie..from Indiana.

Shoot handguns, shotguns, and rifles regularly.

I particularly like the science behind the bullet. The physics of ballistics has always interested me.

Hello, I'm 28 going 29 soon, I'm married no kid yet. I am a civilian work for the USAF as an Aircraft Mechanic, it's not a super super cool job but I love it. Serving my country is one of the best thing in my life. I've heard about site from other gun board. After read several posts here I decided to join and hope to learn some shooting techniques from you guys. I shoot AR and pistols on most of my free time and recently I starting to learn how to shoot long range. I have a savage 10FP LE2 with SS16x42 scope mounted on it. That's all I have for now, I sure will come back with a lot of questions to ask and I'm ready to learn.

Wingnut13 · February 23, 2010, 12:59 AM

Welcome, I work KC-135's... I've also found my SS to be a great value scope, it has served me well on my .50, no issues. See ya around. ~wingnut13

Losov · February 23, 2010, 07:37 AM

Hello. I used to be into shooting in the early '90s, my friends and I used to go to commercial ranges. When they moved away it became a solitary pursuit and I lost interest.

Now I am in a new state and have have joined a local gun club, so it's fun again. I have a couple of revolvers from the old days, an SP 101 .22lr and a Colt King Cobra .357. I want to move into semi-autos. I will soon take a CCW course because this permit makes acquisition much easier.

A lot has changed in the intervening years, particularly the guns are more interesting, more ergonomic. There's also much more information instantly available via the internet and I am soaking it up. That's why I'm here.

Old Shooter · February 23, 2010, 08:11 AM

Hello! New Guy from Virginia here. I've been lurking on this site for quite a while now and finally decided to join so I can contribute (hopefully) some words of wisdom every now and then. I prefer this site to many others because of the variety of content. Some sites are limited to the brand of guns and topics discussed while this site seems to cover just about everything at some time or another. I'm 63 and began my shooting career at about the age of 3 or 4 when my father and one of his Army buddies would take me with them to the local gravel pit and let me shoot some sort of 22 revolver while they did their thing with larger guns. When I had emptied my revolver shooting at rocks I had to wait till they came over and reloaded it for me to continue. (And they wonder why I have had a life-long interest in shooting.)

grizcty · February 23, 2010, 04:18 PM

Hello everyone, My name is Doug and I am outside of St. Louis MO. I was getting ready to trade for Norinco 1911 and on a google search I found this site and many posts from 1911Tuner with good info. I registered and sent 1911Tuner a private message asking about what to look for. He was so helpful and made my trade go smooth as silk. Thanks again!

Tarheel4life · February 25, 2010, 10:02 PM

Hello, I'm Jose. I'm from NC and I am actually in the process of getting my pistol permit and applying for cancel and carry. I enjoy shooting just about anything. Every once and a while I get with my buddy and go shoot the guns he has. I like shooting rifles but I seem to be more fond of pistols. Are there any recommendations to what would be a good first pistol? I've kind of had my eye on either a Glock or HK.

engineeerr · February 26, 2010, 10:43 AM

hello all i am civil engineer originally from pakistan and i am posting some pictures of my collection in my gun room i am new to this forum. i am hunter and shooter also.
can some one guide me how to post pictures please here.

Jbevins84 · February 26, 2010, 06:14 PM

I'm Jamie, I just found this site not too long ago while looking for places to shoot in the Washington- Oregon area. Liked what I found and looked at some of the other topics on the main page. I am prior USMC, so yes, I can shoot the 500 yard line with iron sights and a loop sling. ; ) Glade to have finally found such an informative group of people.

Rikkijustmike · February 27, 2010, 01:47 AM

Hello, all. My name is Mike and I joined because every time I look something up, I get sent here anyway. I figure I'll cut out the middle man. I recently purchased a Maverick 88 that you will see me asking questions about and I may be getting a 1911 tomorrow.

Other than that, I own a couple of pistols and two rifles (30-30 and .270).

I'm not a "gun nut", but I do enjoy shooting and the peace of mind gained by having the proper tools for home protection.

I was an MA in the Navy, I LOVE riding my motorcycles and I'm a Freemason, so other than firearms, I'm willing to chat about those things as well...

I look forward to learning and sharing on what looks like a well-kept little forum...
