There's a gap because no short-actions were made during that time. That's the only explanation that's needed. Just because a rifle was built to use a short-action cartridge does not make it a short-action rifle. If I pull the .30-06 barrel off my 111 and screw on a .223 barrel it doesn't magically become a short-action rifle.
