The Brothers P certainly did all sorts of things in the weights and balance arena. My Grandfather's 1890 PH-Grade 12-gauge is on a 3-frame with 30-inch Twist barrels that swamp very fast and that gun weighs 8 pounds 8 ounces. I have an 1889 GH-Grade 12-gauge on a 2-frame with very straight thick Damascus barrels with very little swamp and it weighs a fraction of an ounce over 9 pounds.
Whatever the customer wanted, that could be done within the Parker Bros. quality comfort zone, the customer would get.
