MDT LSS GEN2 | SAVAGE AXIS SHORT ACTION | DISCONTINUED
Looking for the LSS Gen2? Meet the LSS Gen3 Worker.
The MDT LSS Gen2 Savage Axis Short Action Chassis in Black (104271-BLK) has been discontinued. The MDT LSS Gen3 Worker Kit for Savage Axis SA (115016-BLK) carries the compact, practical concept forward in a current-generation package with a short forend and CCS buttstock.
The LSS Gen2 gave Savage Axis owners a way to move beyond the factory stock without replacing the rifle they already knew. MDT still supports that idea with the LSS Gen3 Worker for Savage Axis Short Action. You get a more complete starting point for a compact field or range rifle, along with the ability to change compatible Gen3 components as the build evolves.
CURRENT GENERATION | RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT
MDT LSS Gen3 The Worker | Savage Axis SA | 115016-BLK
Keep your Savage Axis and give it a new foundation. The Worker configuration combines the action-specific Gen3 chassis with a compact short forend and CCS buttstock, making it a direct place to start instead of piecing together a bare chassis base and separate rear-stock setup.
The Gen3 system also leaves room to change compatible forends and stock components later if your shooting needs change.

The Worker starts with a ready-configured compact setup rather than a bare base. Its short forend and CCS buttstock suit the sort of Savage Axis rifle that goes to the range, rides along on the farm, or comes along for a hunt. Underneath, the action-specific Gen3 core opens the door to compatible chassis upgrades, including different forend configurations when your plans change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the MDT LSS Gen2 Savage Axis chassis still available?
What current LSS Gen3 chassis replaces this Savage Axis model?
Choose the Savage Axis Short Action inlet in the MDT LSS Gen3 lineup. Do not substitute the separate standard Savage Short Action inlet.
Does the LSS Gen3 Worker come with a forend and buttstock?
Yes. The 115016-BLK Worker Kit is a configured chassis package with a short forend and CCS buttstock, rather than a bare LSS Gen3 base. Other compatible Gen3 components can be considered later.
What changes from LSS Gen2 to Gen3?
Gen3 uses a modular center section with interchangeable compatible forends and rear stock interfaces. You can configure it for a compact field rifle or a longer supported-shooting setup without replacing the action-specific chassis core.
Will my Gen2 forend or stock hardware move directly to Gen3?
Do not assume Gen2 chassis components are direct Gen3 replacements. The new system has its own compatible forends, adapters and interfaces; select those for the LSS Gen3 base.
What magazines does a Savage Axis Short Action Gen3 use?
MDT specifies short-action AICS-pattern magazines for its Savage Axis SA inlet. Select a magazine that matches the rifle's cartridge.
Can I use LSS Gen3 for hunting or competition?
Yes. A compact forend and lightweight stock can suit a field-focused build, while the competition forend adds a flat support surface and integrated ARCA rail for tripod, bipod and positional shooting.
