I think we need to just ride this out. Sure we can speculate endlessly, but we have to consider a lot of manufacturers (including those of .223 and 7.62 x 39) are churning out the max production to keep pace with contract demands.
If and when the war ends (U.S. pull out), the level of production would most likely continue at least temporarily- creating a surplus, which would be addressed with price reductions.
