Thanks Reggie! The barrels are listed as 28" and were Full/Full from the factory. Barrels now measure 27 13/16" I think they must have been dropped on the muzzles and then repaired. Gun has a tight pattern still maybe it is a IM/IM now.

The stock had be cut as well and has a very short length of pull. I had speculated that this Parker must of been for a younger shooter who accidentally dropped the barrels(just guessing). I had a leather covered recoil pad installed and the LOP is now 14 1/4" to the front trigger, which is perfect for me...

Jay, I would bet it is still Full/Full.
Most Parkers had/have a parallel section of the bore at the muzzle that often measures between 1/8” to about 3/8” so that’s probably all that was trimmed off.
