Stupid stickers

[bradanita]

Just picked up my new browning and it's got that stupid yellow sticker on the bottom of the barrel. The gun is a piece of art and it doesn't need an ugly "bumper sticker" on it. Anyone know how to get it off without messing up the finish

Just bought a new Winchester X3, it also had a huge sticker on the barrel, it was no trouble to remove: I shot it until barrel was warm and it peeled right off.

Or warm it up with a hair dryer and carefully hit the residue with a little solvent.

I can't believe there aren't instructions with the gun stating the method they recommend to remove that sticker. If not, call Browning because they surely get that question a lot.

I like DWinter's suggestion also.

My first thought would be Goo Gone as it's citrus based.

Try a little on the magazine or under a grip or something first in case it marrs the finish.

Acetone shouldn't hurt any blued surface.

Acetone shouldn't hurt any blued surface.

BUT oil it afterwards- you are removing all protection.

Just peel off what you can, and hit the rest with WD-40.

just peel it off, and apply Vaseline or lighter fluid to any leftover residue. rub it for awhile, until it's all gone.

- well, on my Winchester the sticker peeled off without leaving any residue, glue, whatever - so absolutely no problem.
