Cheaper than Dirt has a plethora of M1A 20 round magazines for sale. I bought 15 of them several years ago and only keep 2 filled and the rest lay on top of a 5000 round box of .308. I keep a range finder and a night scope with the M1A along with a Police Sniper 700 Remington .308. I have also ranged the bullet drop all over my property and the set up the best places from where to shoot; upstairs dormers. I keep foliage cut away from the house for at least 50-75 yards to keep the shots clear and have motion lights on the corners of the house. There is a 75 yard entrance driveway and one can only drive down the way to get to the house. Fences keep those within the driveway. Its taken years of preparation but one never knows.

Thanks. I’ll check it out.

From what I read for the Mini-14 the best non-Ruger items are made by Promag.

I just don’t get a warm, fuzzy feeling from a five round clip. I have multiple 30 rounders for my carbines.

Ooops and I meant Mini-14 not m14.
I know a guy who has about 2000 rounds of .308 - but they’re belted!

He has a hellacious HK-91. Funny thing about that gun is it’s heaviest towards the front of the barrel, not in the backside. Probably made that way to keep it from rising up on ya. Sniper style.

When we bought our farm property I put surplus concertina wire around the perimeter of the woods and up the drive. Then we planted blackberry canes all along the rows and they quickly covered the wire. The deer just jump right over it but it keeps all my neighbors dogs off the property. My newest addition has been to install a heavy steel gate with an electric remote that's 12V with a solar panel recharger.

The best part is that the house isn't visible anywhere from the road but from the house and my shop I can see all the property lines by looking out the windows downhill. I also keep a few Galil's in 308 up where they will be useful.

Honestly I don't think it's rioters I need to fear. But better safe than sorry.
