At least as a high value plinker, will present surplus x54R ammo prices lead to a clear, but permanent increase in both the ammo and rifles' prices?

With no other surplus ammo at similar prices (maybe 5.45x39 again)-even before the panic took place-will people finally turn to these as a 'reserve gun' in case of future tragic events causing high tariffs etc on imported military ammo, or another contagious panic?

If the nice Finnish M** and Polish MN 44s fail to increase much, that could be a good sign.
Classic Arms in NC weeks ago had a batch of MN 38s which vanished.
