    From what I've gathered following a couple of yank forums, prices on components are starting to come down. They've had massive issues with scalpers and unreputable sellers jacking up prices but the rest have generally tried to keep it calm and civil. Availability is starting to increase now as the glut of new gun owners slowly get their fill. Things aren't going to get back to "normal", possibly ever, as the market has been long overdue a correction and the costs of raw materials has gone up.

    As for Federal, I'd wait and listen for a more formal announcement from elsewhere. The US market is their biggest, but combined overseas is still huge. If they stop supplying it, competitors take over and it'll take Federal a long time to work their way back in.
