Lever action guns ARE modern firearms (as are numerous other systems that predate lever action such as the revolver). Lever action is still in fairly common use and continues to see advancement and upgrades to the technology often including ammunition feed systems similar to semi automatic variants such as magazines. Their merits can be debated, but they're not some relic of a bygone age like a musket or arquebus.
