The polymer gun/AR people will buy them up! What next? S&W's with polymer frames? Oops.......they already have them!
Gun Tests magazine actually almost did that recently. They tested this inane Mossberg "Frankengun" head to head against a Winchester Model 1895 lever action carbine in .30/40 Krag caliber.
The Winchester 1895 won.

I actually think it's funny enough to own. I've been keeping an eye out since I first saw them. I'd buy one if the price was right. And yes, I'd probably load it up with ridiculous tacticool accessories just to make it even more silly.
That article contains this wonderful sentence:
"When Winchester closed its New Haven, Conn., facility in 2006, lever-action aficionados began to rent their clothing."
Not me. Nobody wanted to rent any of my clothing back in 2006.
(it shoulda been "to rend")
Hmm…. My word processor dictionary says….
rend [rend](past and past participle rent [rent]
or rend·ed, present participle rend·ing,
3rd person present singular rends)
4. vt shatter something: to disturb the silence or pierce the air with a loud sound A scream rent the air.
