However now, it's all priced the same so all things being equal- I'd rather have a rifle chambered in the same caliber as most of my other rifles, 5.56NATO. I'd trade my entire collection of 5.45 and 7.62 AK's along with all the ammo I have with them, just for a few extra 5.56 AK rifles and a bunch of ammo that all my AUG's, AR's, and 5.56 AK's can eat from the same stash.

The point is if imports cease, we still have domestic production. I didn't buy my AKs because the ammo was cheap, I bought them because they were AKs. And domestic AK ammo will never cost as much as say Match Grade .308 so I guess there is no point to my bolt rifles.
I have NATO rifles, I have Warsaw rifles. I have ammo for both, I can get ammo for both, I'm not worried about ever not being able to get ammo for both. But from time to time I do worry about the long term availability of .357 SIG because I have one. I still remember when .41AE was going to be the new wonder round.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
