So, were the barrels of Parker guns of any gauge, including the 16, generally overbored as well as were the 12 and 10 during the brass shell era of production?

I ask this because in THE PARKER STORY (authors Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price and Cote), page 517, the stock books are cited as noting the general discontinuance of over-boring in 12 and 10 gauge guns in the 1890s, but, nothing is said in that paragraph about other gauges.
