In five years and hundreds of days hunting only one day was spent with a gun other than a 16 and that was because it was my grandfathers and thought it should get out in the woods again

Dont have a 16 made since the 1920s, but as others have noted the ammo and guns are still being made.

16 like SXS guns is a niche market and will continue to be such.

Yes this question in its variations pops up time to time, it remains amusing.
