I always thought the ugliest thing hung on a double gun was a tie, between beaver tail forend, and double beads.

I believe you missed the part in Bill's post where he refers to rifle barrels. I missed that part myself at first reading. He is quite correct when it comes to British rifles being balanced this way. I have owned several British rifles with barrels profiled this way.
