if you put a barrel sticker on your gun can you easilt remove it without damaging the finish? also while it is on your gun could the barrel corrode underneath it?:confused:

I don't know, but it would help to know what the current finish is.
Camo?
Black?
Blued?

I doubt it would hurt any kind of gun finish, maybe blued, but why would they make a sticker that would do that?
If it is wet underneath the sticker, yes, it will corrode, if not, no it will not corrode.
Try WD40, its a great sticker remover when you dont want to mar the finish beneath. I dont reccomend it for gun lube but to take off a sticker on a matte finish barrel it should be fine.

I've had stickers on an older blued SBE for many years with no ill effect.

I've put a few stickers on camo film, and they seem to come off fine.
The barrel stickers seem to use a glue that releases pretty easily - by design I'm sure.
No rust issues anywhere.

Kind of lost here, but why would anyone want to put a sticker on a shotgun barrel? I guess each their own.
My daughter did put a smiley face sticker on the bottom of my duty glock 21 mag.

Why do so many companies make shotgun barrel stickers?
I think they are primarily for free advertising at the trap range, but I've seen them in the field as well.
On my old Benelli, I used the sticker to cover a large scratch that was starting to rust.
