The only exception may be rifles chambered in. Thus all the short actions now feature the 3rd Generation screw spacing of 4.400". Rather than having to offer stocks with two different screw spacings (HFP/DM and blind mag), Savage simply moved the front action screw forward on the blind magazine models as well. The hinged floor-plate assembly required the same screw spacing as the detachable magazine arrangement. In 2006 Savage introduced their new hinged floor-plate magazine arrangement, and also started phasing in a new center-feed blind magazine. All other short action models retained the 2nd Generation short action screw spacing.) ( NOTE: The above listed models were the only ones to have the different screw spacing in 2005. The new detachable magazine setup required that the front action screw be moved forward approximately 0.125" to allow room for the magazine release lever. The 3rd Generation short action is what came about with the introduction of Savage's new detachable magazine arrangement on the Model 14 American Classic, 16FCSAK, 16FCSS, 10FCM Sierra and 11GCNS models in 2005. The 2nd Generation short action is approximately 0.850" shorter than a long action, or approximately 0.310" shorter than the 1st Generation short action. The 2nd Generation short actions were introduced in 1998 and remained in production through the better part of 2007 which was the final transition year to the new 3rd Generation short actions. From 1988 to the launch of the 2nd Generation Short Action in 1998, all rifles offered in a short-action cartridge were built on long actions with a shorter magazine well cut in the bottom of the action. The 1st Generation short actions were discontinued in 1988 when Savage went into bankruptcy.

Additionally, a rifle can be marked with a series letter other than "J" and still be one of these 1st Gen short actions. As such, it's common to find a long action rifle with the barrel marked "Series J", and as such it's not a good idea to simply refer to the 1st Generation short actions as "J-Series" as the series has no bearing on the actual action length. Think of it as a version or revision number.
These series indications were only used to identify what parts to use on the rifle should it ever come back to the factory for repair or warranty service. Series J) solely to identify small changes to individual parts over the years. These actions will have a three digit model number (110, 112, etc), but are approximately 0.540" shorter than the standard long action. The 1st Generation short actions are often incorrectly referred to as "Series J" actions or Intermediate Actions.
