I had an AR-15 upper in 5.45x39 or an AK-74 on my "to buy" list before this panic hit due to my thoughts on it being a cheap alternative to shooting 5.56x45. Obviously I can't get either right now, but once markets calm down I still want to get one (not that I think I'll be seeing any AK-74 semi-autos for under $500 any time soon, but I'm patient). I'm thinking it would be prudent to get some ammo now (20 cents a round, give or take a few), as while I expect prices to stay stable (the Russians are still using the cartridge so I don't expect production to decline any time soon) I've learned that "buy it cheap and stack it deep" are truly words to live by. Any thoughts?
