figgy Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I have the grade 4 with same barrels, very nice gun. Just check the colour case hardening effect finish hasn’t worn off. Handle and balance very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unico1 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I did see that figgy on you tube review, apparently with a certain solution it will come off. It’s not the true colour hardening, I’ll have a look. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B525 LIGHT Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I’ve just picked myself up the 693 and I’m pleased to say the finnish is much better than its been in the past few years. Much more like the original 687 which is a lovely gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 My 687 has a nice shiny blacked action finish, much like theb blacked barrels not a painted or sprayed finish like lots of the newer Beretta guns have applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unico1 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Went to have a look at one today, supposedly only had 1000 cartridges through it.... well more like 10000, wood was beaten up to all this from a trader. I’ll keep looking as I do like these guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I bought a new 687EELL fixed choke game gun in 1992, its been faultless. Must have had 15,000/20,000 through it, works and looks as new. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unico1 Posted November 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Yes I can believe it, super reliable it was the fact being told on the phone that this gun had only had a small amount of cartridges through it I thought it would be a bit special this was clearly not the case. I reacon it was worth about half the cost he had it up for given its state. I’ll aim now for private sales as they seem a bit more genuine. In no mad rush one will crop up.
