I failed to mention the gun I had was marked Central Arms Co & was in 20 gauge with 28" barrels. At the same point in time, my Dad had a 16 gauge marked Eastern Arms Co, but his was the hammer type.

In the picture of the Newport model that Researcher posted you can readily see the high placement of the rear pin.

It is a bit confusing that the model 311 designation has been used for both types of actions.
