if the M1 Garand is legal, try looking at the m14, maby you'll be lucky there too?
If not I heard a rumor that there are 25 round magazines for the HK which can be adapted to fit the Hakim which is 8mm semi auto, they're pretty cheep, not much in the way of aftermarkets, but 25 rounds of 8mm is enough to chop down a small tree if your bored.
Just a thought.
Ruger mini is a pretty good choice, they may have mag issues, they may be not quite as acurate as an AR, but they are increadibly durable for SHTF.
My own personal mini spent 10 years at the bottom of a creek prior to resurection.
Rusted solid but still put a hole in my buddies garage when we were disasembling it. I didn't use to like them very much but after that, it speeks alot for the reliability.
