I'm guessing those measurements are MBWT...

Just a hunch but I think Mark reported that the barrel thickness for both is about .026 for both barrels. Then quickly indicated that barrels were modified and full without giving the constrictions. If both barrels were .0266 and .0265, I'd say both were full and full. I have not had my barrels measured and have never seen this piece in person but did see old Larry measuring a barrel thickness. His was an analog gauge but not certain why it can't be digital.
Btw digital weight scales are an inferior technology. I had one that was constantly wrong. Have an old analog bathroom scale that I use that gives me a number I much prefer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pbCnqkLjUE |

I have a 16ga DHE, with sling swivels, and I have seen several other Parkers with them. A fellow I consider fairly knowledgeable in the oddities of Parkers, who also happens to be a former President of the PGCA, indicated to me that he felt they were original, Meriden, installed swivels. That said, I have yet to see a research letter where either the order book, or stock book has noted that swivels were installed on the gun for which the letter was written. I'm sure there are such entries, just that I've yet to see one.
