All correspondence I have had from the Del Grego firm since 1969 has included a statement from them that a through bolt conversion was a neccesary part of a beavertail conversion. I think your gun is a Del Grego conversion because of the 28" barrel length. Remington 28" skeet guns are quite rare but Del Grego 28" skeet conversions are quite common.
I defer to the guy with way more Parker experience than I have. Again, the ones I have seen didn't have it. It is possible that the ones I've seen and handled were not done by Del Grego?? ...but they were represented as such and to my eye certainly looked like their work.
