Is there any?

Specifically, I'm interested in whether or notAK mags might fit SKS rifles.

My choices in 7.62x39 are now Saiga, VZ58, or SKS.

Still not sure I'll take the plunge, but I'd still like to know as much as I can in case a good deal turns up.

As usual, basic bits are hard to find, such as mags for the likes of the SKS. Saiga mags shouldn't be too hard, though as with the CZ...

So, are they close cousins or just look-a-likes with no real common ground?
