They may have been built that way. A lot of Parkers were overbored. Especially any made pre-1910 or so. Wall thickness and choke would be most important things to look at. And bore condition of course. Bore diameter is kind of moot.

Back in the early days Parker Bros. guns were well known to be overbored and at least some of the loading companies put up shells specifically for Parkers with oversize wads.
