Ignition Override, why worry about big mags? Defense. Home defense. You really think you're gonna have to fight off pagan hordes?
A Mini-14 is always gonna be capable of minute of torso. A few factory 10-round mags around; lots of reliable 20s. You might even luck out and find some of the 1970s/1980s vintage mags, which mostly worked quite well for me.
If a mag is basically well-made but doesn't feed quite properly, well, that's why God invented needle-nose pliers: So you could tweak the feed lips. That's worked on many a mag for a 1911; I see no reason why it wouldn't on any other steel mag.
Around the house self-defense? A Mini is as good as an AR or any of the AK clones. The deal is how much you've practiced, so you can hit what you're shooting at. The hittee isn't gonna care.
