Stub Twist: I like your load, and if I can find the components I'll use it. I have stacked up copies of Sherman Bell's damascus shooting articles in DGJ and read them end to end. I am therefore pretty confident with shooting my GH.
The gun hefts heavy. I'd say it weighs more than my Superposed, which is also a heavy shotgun. The barrels look thick. I haven't even thought to flick them to see if they "ring".
The Parker is so heavy that I think it'd be hard to "hump" on a long upland game hunt. However, I think it'd be very good while shooting sporting clays with appropriate shells.
I read about the several frame sizes in Parkers. My 2 is not the heaviest, but next to it. I suspect that a 3 is very heavy. I guess that a 1 1/2 is about the best, but I've never held one. I also see a no. 1. Is there an 0? In any event my Parker GH no. 2 frame made in 1895 is no lightweight, just the opposite.
