anyone know the differences between these models? physically they look the same.

I have owned Model 311 shotguns and was never clear on the differences. Maybe an email to Savage Arms at www.savagearms.com (http://www.savagearms.com) would provide some clarity. All the best...

I have a 311A;it's a 16 gauge.
Numrich Arns lists these models for the 311:
A,C,D,E,F and H
Also ussing common parts are the Models 5100,530,and 530A.

Interesting. I have a Model 5100 in 16 gauge with a single trigger that is a joy to use. Thanks for the information. All the best...

Glad to be helpful.
In my humble opinion,every person with a keen interest in guns should consider buying one of the Numrich catalogs.

so the parts are interchangeble, internal and things like the buttstocks?

to an extent....
you'd need to have the catalog, or reference their website...
