Check the receiver and barrel.
Try the barrel, action, breech
The Stevens 311 is a double barrel shotgun.
No. Many manufacturers have used Browning's patents. Your gun was made by Savage/Stevens. sales@countrygunsmith.net
It's a Stevens gun, not a Browning. The barrel is marked 'Browning Patent' but that is the extent of Browning's involvement with that shotgun. They were made before WW2 and sell for $100-$150 in typical shape.

Best left to a gunsmith.
If your Stevens is a bolt action, it is NOT a visible loader. If it has any part (perhaps the barrel) that is marked as a visible loader, that part has been replaced.
Savage/Stevens made a lot shotguns with the Riverside name and Browning patented a lot of guns, features, and improvements. Give a model name or number and describe the action (automatic, slide, etc) and we may be able to give a ballpark estimate.
It should be on the bottom of the barrel.
You will have to provide the model, type of action, barrel length, gauge
