Researcher, that is interesting! A lot of gun-wise people describe the Fox B as a fancy
Stevens 311. Seems like the 311 is a plain Fox B because it came first.
Thanks for your help everyone! Based on the idea of reasonable availability and production numbers, I've narrowed my plans for a want list to: Remington 1894, Iver Johnson, Tobin, Fox B/Stevens, Meridan, Lefever Nitro, and Winchester 24. The Hatfield, I'm keeping an eye out for, but were there any other later American doubles? The Crescent and hardware store guns, I'll set aside for now. Plus the really scarce low production guns made in the early 20th century. I think the Ruger Gold Label is not 20th century, but I'd probably make an exception for it and the Colt!
