I would think the balance of a Parker would move behind the hinge if a barrel has been back bored. Let's not forget that the balance of a Parker is a large part of the brand mystique. What's wrong with just weighing the barrels? Does actual barrel weight match what is struck on the water table?
Opinions will vary, but I'm not sure I agree that a back bored barrel is more of a detriment to a cut stock. Both would upset the balance, but only an experienced buyer is going to measure bore diameter. If I were concerned, then barrel thickness would be my determining factor.
