If we are ever hit with a Semi-Auto ban then yes, because lever actions will become the default all purpose rifle (Jeff Cooper's 'street sweeper' - a 336 with a 16" barrel and tritium illumn'd ghost rings sights comes to mind). If not, then probably still yes, because it is a design that cannot be killed, sort of like the M1911. Will they be production rifles? Perhaps not.
I fear that guns will go the way of say, fine swords and the like, presentation items not considered to have a practical use that are bespoke, hand crafted pieces whose price limits them to the rich and connected. If this does happen then guns of the "old west" will be quite popular because the cowboy mythology will endure as long as America does and perhaps even beyond that.

Nah, they won't be "produced" but if someone wants one they'll have to pay a licensing fee and then they can whip one up on their 3D printer or matter compiler or whatever outgrowth of that production tech exists by then.
(and if you think THAT idea is impossible far-fetched science fiction then you need to keep up with the scientific journals more).

Heck I'm not sure at the rate we're going there will be a world left. Much less guns. If by chance the world is still here I doubt we'll still be using lead or any kind of bullets especially ones using gun powder.. Think about how far we've come in weapons in the last 100 years. Technology is moving faster than ever, so no I do not think they will be producing lever action gun rifles. The ones that remain will be old wall hangers in someones man cave. As for now though I love my Marlin 336C.

Thread back from the dead. Good to see this one still kicking.
Interesting to see what opinions are now in light of recent events and politics.
