Adam, Reggie is correct. Parker would drill out stocks to create balance a gun. The matching of pre-struck barrel weight barrels to desired weight characteristics is another method they used. In my experience, Parkers are generally on the heavier side and have what I'd call a "stable" balance. Even 24" 12s have great balance.
