Well friends I don’t know what to think. Got 2 Bulgarian Circle 10 fortay round waffle mags here.

One came from Atlantic, and the other from K-Var. But you’d never know they are supposed to be the same mag. They are as different as AKs and ARs.

Will the real Bulgy 40 round waffler please stand up? Why are these so different — even the angles (the bend of the mag) are totally different. What’s the deal?

5.45 mag (straighter one) and 7.62 mag (more curved).

This... your metabolism goes to 0% at 50. And I can't drink like I use to either. Beer night is only on Saturday night these days.

I heard this:

"when you hit thirty...."
"when you hit forty...."
"when you hit fifty...."

I called bs every time, saying my input simply had to match my output. It's math, plain and simple. If your metabolism slows, eat less. Want to eat more, get some exercise. I see guys my age that look like they're done. I see guys ten years older than me that still run marathons.

Like every other thing in life, it's part luck, and mostly work.

Yup... I feel this also.

Yeah, getting old is a bummer. I look at a carb and gain weight.

The low carb thing (name a name, Adkins, keto, whatever) really works for me. But my wife has to be on board 'cause she's the one cooking. It was hard to do back when travelling a lot but not impossible. Problem is, one cheat meal and it sets me back for close to a week. I fell off the bandwagon last August. Gotta get back on.

Can someone tell this guy to stop bringing facts and logic into the equation so we can continue to wallow around in our self-pity???

Morning K Klub.
Been working on that K98 stock I got from Liberty Tree Collectors. Turns out it's not as nice as I first thought. I pulled it out of the bix briefly when it arrived, and it looked like walnut. Once I had time to really check it out, it is not. Pretty light stuff, stained, but inletting and machining quite nice.

I sanded it, filed it (wrist and overall dimensions were a bit thick, more like an M48). I used aquafortis (yeah, old school) and a torch to get the stain right.

Been rubbing BLO on it for a couple days, I'll reassemble this weekend and post pics. I think it'll be nice.
