Can you remove the caliber designation from the magazine tube

[harveymushman]

I'd like to remove the red painted .357 from my magazine tube, without damaging the finish. Has anyone successfully done this?

Thank you in advance.

I own a Henry H006M (.357 Brass Big Boy rifle), but the magazine tube has no such marking. I did not know the carbine was different.

Just checked my Henry .357 Carbine, which I bought in May 2018, and was made in Rice Lake, WI. There is no "red-painted .357" markings on mine. Almost sounds like an anomaly, unless other Folk have it on their Henrys?

Now to send you Greetings as a new Forum member, Harvey. Glad you joined and brought another .357 Henry on board, too!
Enjoy your time here....'tis a good group on the HRF.

Ditto to PT7. My 357 carbine has no markings as described. Is it on the blued portion? Or the brass? Not sure of remover, nail polish remover?
Good luck, someone here will come through for you. Welcome to the forum.

I think I would just paint over it with black.

Holding a cotton ball with Hoppe's #9 solvent for a few minutes might soften it enough to be able to scrape if off with a finger nail or pop cycle stick.

Judicious use of a heat gun might soften the paint too, but use a stick to scrape it not your finger

It's on the outside of the tube. Every Henry in the store had it on them. Mine's in red, and I seem to recall the .44 mags were in yellow.
