Stevens short action, center feed action length??
What is the length of the action in the new Stevens short actions?
I have some short action stocks made for staggered feed magazine (4.275")
FROM THE FRONT ACTION SCREW TO THE FRONT TRIGGER GUARD SCREW:
2ND GENERATION SHORT ACTIONS (1998-2006) = 4.275" STAGGERED FEED MAGAZINE
3RD GENERATION SHORT ACTION (2005 AND UP) = 4.40" CENTER FEED MAGAZINE
I am wondering if my stocks will work on the new Stevens short action center feed mag.

Thanks for looking,
wcmd

The action screw spacing on the new Stevens centerfeed short actions is 4.40" (same as Savage centerfeed actions, they are identical). A new Stevens (or Savage) centerfeed action will not fit a stock made for staggered feed actions, not without modifications. The screw spacing is a little bit different: 4.40" vs 4.275".
