Funny, some of us have adapted ... To the plastic guns. I have grown to appreciate a flattop AR, even some modern tupperware.

Who knows, in twenty years the M-16 clones might be the next 30-30.
Well -- lets see Marlin is now being made in Ilion in the Remington plant. The product there is very poor and most of the product lines are gone.
Winchester is not making lever guns except in 'special runs'-- and they now have rebounding hammers and tang safetys that make then less than fully trustworthy (think lock on SW).

That leaves Henry, Uberti, Rossi and Mossberg.

Yes, the levergun is DEAD!
