Also it would be preferable (to avoid any potential legal hurdles where I live) if it had a mag capacity of less than 10 rounds.

Any of the firearms experts here have suggestions for something that fits this and is reasonably available on the market these days?
I don't claim to be an expert but you probably want to look at an M1 Carbine. US made army surplus and you can get 10 round mags for it fairly cheaply.
