I've found a 681 no-dash on another forum that I'm interested in. I haven't seen it in person but the photograph looks like the CS-1 beadblasted finish. The owner says its the same finish as the CS-1 also. I believe the 681s were finished like the 686s and most of their other stainless guns. Has anyone seen or heard of a 681 coming out of ther factory (at least the first time) with a bead-blasted finish? Thanks in advance.
