The 311000 is the LE version of the 811000, and according to S&W the difference is that the 311000 is "audited" (their words) more than the commercial rifle, which I assume means it is given an extra inspection. That was the extent of the explanation I was given when I called S&W to ask about that SKU number.
Note that the LE pistols (at least in the M&P series) also have the SKU numbers beginning with a "3," which usually signifies it is shipped with 3 magazines instead of the commercial pistols, which have two mags.
