Beretta EELL Doubling
Stay Low
March 16, 2003, 08:31 PM
A new to me and lightly used Beretta 687 EELL I bought a month or so ago has doubled 3-4 times in the last 500 shells. I don't think it was technically a double becasue both barrels didn't fire at the same time but close enough together that no one could fire it that fast. I read a post about an issue called "fan fire" but don't remember the specifics as it didn't apply to me at that time. So, any thoughts on cause, cure, etc of doubling and/or fan fire?

Stay low,
"Fan firing" usually takes place with mechanincal trigger arrangements, with really light triggers.....your Beretta 687 EELL should have "inertia triggers" that keep it from doing that as easily. If the gun is "used" someone could have been monkeying with the trigger. I would suggest either letting a GOOD gunsmith look at it, or better yet, send it in to Beretta USA and let Les and the other finegun gunsmiths there take a look at it. The will ensure that everything is working correctly.
Let me put it this way, O/U competition shotguns ALOT, every week, and I VERY RARELY see Beretta 680-series guns with trigger problems....when I do, they usually ahve had some "home gunsmithing " done to them. Get it checked out!
BTW, nice gun;)

Like Will said, the cure is to send it to Beretta for a checkup.
