I have a Interarms Mini-Mauser in 7.62x39 and love the accurate little rifle!
7.62x39mm bolt action?

A large shipment of reloadable Greek .303 ammo (.50/rd.) is arriving in the next two weeks or so at a distributor.
You can buy a really good actual "Jungle Carbine" for much less than those AIA rifles, with much more power.
At the September show here, mine was listed (!) at $350.

that's nice but I prefer the AIA. Looks much better has less noise and recoil and is cheaper to feed. Whitetails won't notice any power difference.

I see very little of the Ruger 77 in 7.62x39 mentioned here. If you run across one, leave it where it is. Owned one and it was less accurate at 100 yards than a Norinco SKS or Arsenal AK. I'm not sure if Ruger can make good barrels or if they are outsourceing them and not checking the quality.

Excellent points.
Just curious, but is the energy at 50-100 yards a bit more than with my Norinco SKS? Found nothing at Wikipedia on the AIA products.

I've got the mini-mauser (interarms, charles daly, rem 799) in 223 that with the right ammo is a 1 ragged hole gun. I hear the 7.62 version is good too. it's under $400 at cdnn. mine has a nice adjustable trigger. not the worlds greatest trigger, but I've got it at 2-3lbs with almost no creep.
however, like the CZ's they're a little tricky to scope.

CZ is now a LITTLE bit easier to put a scope on, picatinney rail adapter.

I have one of the AIA-M10 carbines in 7.62X39. For this particular Texas boy, it is my idea of a near perfect rifle. The quality is on par with my Springfield Armory M1A. I like its all teak and steel construction, chrome lined bore, parkerized finish, improved Enfield type action, the fact that it takes AK magazines, has an integral picatinny rail, comes with steel scope mounts, and is short handy and reliable. With a scope it will shoot the cheapest Academy Wolf polymer coated steel case ammo into 1.5". It does better with my handloads using the .311 diameter Vmax.
The unit I bought came with the aforementioned steel scope base, (2) 10 round AK mags, a nice canvas carrying case, front sight adjustment tool and a heavy duty 1917 type military sling made out of buffalo leather. Pricey at $699.00 but a very well made rifle. This is one of the very few guns I own that is in the "Never Sell" category.
Certainly this is a niche rifle and not everyone's cup of tea, but it hits me right in the sweet spot. And yes, I have owned dozens of true Enfields, but this rifle is in a class by itself.
With kindest regards,
