golfnutrlv:
Despite Gunbroker's prices, I've looked at their quantity of 14s once per week since last March and they always list at least four full pages. My plastic Promag 30-rounder has been just as reliable as the Ruger factory 20-rounder, despite a loose fit.

My mint condition Mini 30 was listed there in March and have been happy with it (later found perfect after-market mags).
If chaos somehow ever broke out here, self-defense shots would be well within 50 yards. Offensive range is not needed, unless one day going on my first hunt (am 53). My Minis and SKS are for a long-term 'Road Warrior' scenario-they don't require a clean table at a shooting range. A young Iraq (Ft. Riley) veteran told me last summer that "Our guns jam with just one grain of sand".
His words, not mine. Good luck shopping. How about at a gun show where several Minis are in one small area?
