Regarding the barrel weight - Parker guns of that era seemed to have much thinner wall thickness at the breech end of the barrels and this may account for the barrel weight being about a pound less than we would expect to see on a set of 12/30 barrels.
Re the stock being original or not - Parker shotguns of that era had coarser looking checkering even in the higher LPI checkering - more 'square' than the elongated 'diamond' shaped that we are used to seeing on the later guns, so at least the checkering is in keeping with what we would expect to see on a higher grade Parker of that three-digit era.

What stood out to you Brian that leads you to believe it may be a restock?
