That is exactly what I was thinking. Cue the "tactical" lever action carbines dolled up with composites, Picatinny rails, pistol grips, suppressors, lasers, lights, optics, bipods, targeting computers with "artificial intelligence", and God knows what else. I'll bet we see a lever action that (somehow) takes AR mags.
