    Default barrel stickers?

    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?

    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.
