tw: Altho not having much to do with this froggie, something I don't understand if the perception of doubles as "behind the door guns"; when I was a kid in Ohio, some pretty Burgherish folks had nothing more than a single barrel, Belgian no-name in the kitchen pantry. In fact, if you'd gathered up all the break action shotguns from all the farm sales and auctions in a four-state area in the midwest in the 50's or 60's you'd have little else. The idea that a 311, let alone a SW or Parker Trojan was a "farmers' gun" isn't a match with statistical reality; the cheapest were not "utility" shotguns. LG misinterprets if he thinks the production nos. for even these high production doubles didn't stretch pretty thin against the U.S. population in the early 20th C.
