Battle, Try the Remington Society for this info. They have a forum for Pre and Post 1898 Remington Shotguns. http://www.remingtonsociety.com/forums/Gordon

The serial # 311984 indicates it was made in 1901.
The 280/275 is the target pellet count when the barrel was test fired.
The 9860 and the 7 may not be known(as per Semmer's book).
The XK likely means a Grade 1 or 2

Both of my KE-Grades, a 12- and a 16-gauge, have a four digit number on the parts just like yours. I've heard it refered to as an "assembly number" but I don't think anyone really knows.
I don't think anyone has really decoded those letters and hashmarks down the barrel tube bottoms. I've posted this information before, but if someone with a lot of Remingtons, like Bobby, add these to what he has and what is in Charles' book, maybe a pattern will emerge.
1906 12-gauge KE-Grade has /// K E Y
1909 16-gauge KE-Grade has X K E A1
1896 12-gauge AE-Grade has P A
1906 12-gauge FE Trap has /// F E G 13
1894 12-gauge BE-Grade has B J and a poorly struck E or an F
1907 CEO-Grade 12-gauge has /// M
1905 DEO-Grade 16-gauge has X O
It is beginning to look like an X on the tube bottoms might have something to do with 16-gauge?!?

Remington Model 1900s are a simplified, cheaper, version of the Model 1894, built on the same patents -- No. 528,507 and No. 528,508 both granted Oct. 30, 1894. The Model 1900s were all K-Grades, with E added to the designation if the gun had ejectors and D if it had Damascus barrels -- K-, KE-, KD-, or KED-Grades. The K- and KE-Grades had Remington Steel barrels. The Model 1900s had a snap-on/off forearm and their serial numbers were in the 300,000 range, often preceded with a stock letter Q.
Actually Remington Arms Company called them all "Remington Hammerless Double Barrel Shotguns" in the catalogues, and the only differentiation was the grade. The only place the terms "Model 1894" and "Model 1900" are found is in the parts lists.
