I had a friend make me an offer on a I think a 687 revolver...He got it on a trade a few years back...New in the box and it is a 7 shooter. He wants 800 dollars and even though I saw it once I know nothing about them It is new and going to go look tomorrow It is a 4 inch in the blue clamshell box...Worth 800?? ...He's leaving the area on Wednesday so the time constraints come into play...Don't need it but got some money burning a hole in my pocket!

It's probably a Model 686 not 687.
I own a 6" bbl one. Very nice shooting piece.

If it's just a run of the mill 686-6, then it's not that great of a deal. Easy to tell…the -6 has the internal lock and I would pass on it at that price. Very common variation.
If it is a 686-4 7 shot, you should not pass it up, especially in a 4".
There is a possibility it's a 681; maybe your friend mistook the 1 for a 7? If so, that would be either a Lew Horton or a Camfour special production revolver and highly sought after. Since he has the box, you can check the product code and we can tell you exactly what it is.
Pretty much any 7 shot sans internal lock…go for it!

Heck! Just buy it then play with it for a while. Think it over, it's not what you want then it should be easy to sell but you may have to wait a while or else take a hit in the sale..good luck to your decision, etc.
