I echo your concern. The problem is not just one of production. I recall some time ago (during Obama) the government actually bought up (with tax dollars) massive amounts of surplus 7.62 x 39, which they had no legitimate use for. (I don’t know if they destroyed it or gave it to the Ukrainians, or ISIS, or any of the other revolutionary groups that utilized commie bloc weapons. Needless to say the The price of remaining stock of 7.62 Soviet went thru the ceiling.
