Hopefully they will fall back to where they were ($300-$400 range) after the panic subsides (I seriously doubt that any serious anti-gun legislation will pass on a federal level).
I could make bank on an unconverted Saiga 5.45 I have sitting around, but I honestly have no intention of selling it.

I think it's the longer barrel and sight radius, but it inspires more confidence when l lay the sights on something.
The SKS is more accurate than 7.62X39mm AK's, but in spite of this I still prefer the AK, mainly due to the superior trigger of the AK.
When it comes to AK's, my Romanian RPK (AES-10B) has a nice, long sight radius.
I am sitting on the 7.62X39mm ammunition I currently have, thanks to the panic buying leaving the shelves empty. Fortunately, I am still finding "spam cans" of surplus 5.45X39mm ammunition, so my SKS's and 7.62X39mm AK's will get less range time while my Saiga 5.45's (one converted to AK-74 configuration, other in factory configuration) will get more range time.
