However, you can pick up a new receiver cover on henrypride.com for the H001 for $49.95, complete with saddle ring. https://henrypride.com/collections/rifl ... 1124661388
I posted the actual link to the item for you.
Hey Robert, that's a nice cover.
Never knew they had a saddle ring version.
I put a Winchester style Saddle ring on mine.

Yeah, If it were me, I would either strip it like others have done or buy a new receiver for $50.00. Depending on the look that I decided on.

.
Not that it matters; there appears to be a 'flow' to the peeling. Like an incompatible lubricant or cleaner seeped under the cover and ate into the paint. Might be a bit much for a Birchwood Casey Super Black touchup pen, but maybe strip it and paint it with 'sight-black' paint.
