Never going to happen as the design requires too much hand fitting. First, the decision to stop making them wasn't financial based, it was tooling based. The old tooling that they had been using for the past 100 years was flat-out worn out making the guns even harder and more time consuming to manufacture. Ron Coburn really wanted to bring the 99 back, but after looking into it they determined that it just wasn't possible to produce them at a price point that the market would accept. In other words, they would have been extremely expensive and sales volume would be to low to warrant the investment in tooling up to manufacture them.
