The 15" LOP is commonly seen on 32- and 34-inch barreled guns and was one of the ways (along with frame size, barrel contouring and stock manipulation) that Parker Bros. (and others) achieved the wonderful handling characteristics of these long-barreled lovelies. The guns do indeed seem to handle like 30-inch or less guns coming in around 7+/- pounds. Many were of course shortened afterwards for a variety of reasons, but the original balance and handling characteristics are always a source of joy for the shooter.
