Whoa! Slow down there, buckaroo. Before you condemn a shooter, have someone familiar with Parkers look at the gun In Hand.
Digital pictures on the internet can be very misleading.
The gun left the factory as a Damascus barrel Grade 3, and possibly the owner fell victim of the "Dangerous Damacus" hype. There are lots (and lots) of 1 1/2 AND 1 frame 12 gauge guns out there, so even if there was some profiling of the very end of the breach end of the barrels, there's still no less than the wall a 1 1/2 frame gun would have there.(Which is still more than a 1 frame gun) I'd be more concerned about profiling in the forcing cone area than at the end of the barrels. The fit of the dolls head 'appears' very good, and would belie the assumption a full 1/16" was removed. There doesn't appear to be any alteration of the dolls head.
The receiver has well more value than the sum of it's parts, and it's still possible to seek out a set of better fitting barrels. In any case, I don't see anything that says the receiver is definitely a 1 1/2 frame. The only way to know for certain is to measure the width of the bolsters,, and height of the standing breech.
