...yet it's ones duty in life IMHO to be prepared for the worst case scenerio

Speaking of which, I have been in the market for another battle rifle in .308 Win. I haven't had any luck finding semi-autos other than the Armalite AR-10 and DSA's version of the FN-FAL. Anybody know of any others that are easily obtainable and preferable new?

The Springfield M-1A, perhaps? Also, some of the CETME rifles available recently were built of arsenal service parts (not parts from chopped rifles) and with a HK-spec receiver (Portugese FMP), that's about as close to "new" as you'll find in the HK/CETME roller-locked rifles.

Vepr makes a .308 based on the AK action, too; definitely worth a look.
