Use a tooth pick and WD-40.. Works like a charm.

I left mine on, looks cool... but it is nice to know that a tooth pic and WD-40 is all that is needed to remove it. I won't do this to my AR15s, that is why they are called, the "Black Rifle".... bad to the bone.

There's allot easier way guys!!!!!
Rem Oil and a toothbrush. Works great, little effort. It'll also remove the factory lettering color. Use a q-tip and spread rem oil over the crayola. Let it soak for a few minutes and scrub it out with a toothbrush.

I did exactly the same thing last night thank God for DVR. I have stripped my and changed the colors at least a dozen times.

I just did this earlier today, removed the crayon from the slide on my XD9 since I am trading it with a local for their Beretta 92FS. I used a toothpick to remove the bulk of the crayon, but there was still a lot left behind that the toothpick would not grab. I soaked the corner of a white rag in WD40 and rubbed the area pretty vigorously, took what was left right off in under 15 seconds. I would suggest that if you use a solvent instead of WD40 that you make sure that it will not damage the polymer of the receiver first.

The crayon is not holding up like I thought it would, so one day that I am stuck inside because of bad weather, I'm going to remove it and re-do with acrylic paint.

Sight marking paint works real good and you get a choice of 4 or 5 dayglow colors plus white.

Easiest way to remove crayon I found is heat it up with a lighter. Short durations so no damage is done to the plastic. Once wax melts wipe it out with microfiber cloth. Shouldn't even take a minute to do. My 2 cents.

hold off on that, i'm getting some lacquer sticks (red and white), I'm sure there will be plenty there to do a ton of rifles.
