Dave,
Not sure if Parker Bros had a formula for mid-bead location based on stock dimensions, because (as Robert accurately mentioned) there are still the many
fitting variables of an individuals head and facial characteristics on the stock (i.e. Fred Gilbert) that could only be determined when that particular person mounted the gun... These factors would be important if mid bead function was to make sure the shooter was looking straight down the barrel.... Personally, I think the beads are a blurred reference at best when actually swinging and shooting, but may very well help with that split-second unconscious eye to bird/target alignment... But who knows? ~ I'm looking at the bird...
Find your consistent mounting style on a particular gun, and with gun mounted, have your trusted assistant Danny Suponski take a
large headed straight pin and move it down the rib until you see the sight picture desired (some folks like a stacked figure-8, but
you do what works best for you), mark the spot making sure bead is centered on the rib side-to-side and install it... If you don't have an assistant to help, you can also use a small round ball of clay moving it up and down the rib until you get the sight picture and mid-bead location you are looking for...
Best, CSL
