My first double was a Savage Springfield model 511 in 20 gauge. I paid $145.00 for it.
Imagine a double more economically made than a 311!! As Greg said, the forend was held on by a screw. To break the gun down you had to take off the forend and then depress an external coil spring that kept the barrels and action together!! Needless to say the gun didn't get broken down too often.
I found a brochure on the gun at a gun show and it was listed under Savages "economy line".
I shot an awful lot of squirrels and rabbits with that gun. I couldn't hit a bird with it to save my life though...
I still take it out once a year to hunt bushytails.
