My guess is that the 7" forcing cone and the 10" forcing cone didn't get that long from Parker Bros. factory work.
Yes, most corrosion pitting usually happens in the first third of barrel length from the breech and I have seen such 'forcing cone lengthening' but never even suspected it to have been done by PB factory.
