Brent,
It dose appear as though your gun was restocked as part of the restoration. Parker changed to a reinforced forend loop for all guns with beavertail forends as the old style loop could loosen from the barrels do to increased pressure from the hand. Some people who own guns that have been restocked with a BTFE but do not have the reinforced loop have reported this problem. Below is a picture of the two styles of loop. The top barrel having the reinforced type and the bottom barrel with the standard loop. All this is not to say you can't shoot your gun but if it has the standard loop you may want to keep an eye on it just in case.
