This gun could be potential trouble.

I highly doubt if Parker ever made a gun with a barrel "hump". What others observe is what it most likely is: a bulge. The fact that it can't be seen from inside indicates that the barrels have probably been excessively honed inside to "remove" the bulge. This obviously means greatly reduced wall thickness.

I'd say it's a gun in need of new barrels. And a lower price.
