BTW still have several thousand FMJ 7.62x39 ammo and may have to buy a bolt action to use it in. Perhaps a Zastava Mini M98 or even better a AIA so I can use the SKK's magazines.
Yes the AIA would be ideal, but they don't seem to be producing them in this cartridge anymore - pity. I think there are production issues even with the 308Win version. Not technical issues but they just aren't being made to demand, but that's part of the problem - the new versions are quite expensive (a couple hundred bucks more than the CZ). The Zastava is much cheaper and represents better value for money IMO, if a new rifle was being considerred and the SKK magazine compatibility wasn't a consideration.
Second-hand AIAs in 7.62x39 are hard to find.
