"Goo Gone" is a great citrus based cleaner that should do the trick, you can get it at any grocery store. I've never used it on firearms before but having used it on just about everything else I don't think it'll hurt.
It DOES leave a strong citrus odor though! |

+1 for Goo Gone. Just a little goes a long way. If the glue is stubborn, just put a bit on the glue and let it sit for a few minutes. It should soften it enough to just wipe it off.

+1! I'm a Federal Technician (Small Arms Repairman) for the FMS shop out of Salem and we use THAT for most of the stuff WE need to take off (Mainly old taped-on admin' numbers that've changed to make way for the new ones that're coming out in our area with the Sams-E maintenence system). Stuff works pretty good.

+1 WD-40 also works on chewing gun, soap-scum, and a host of other things. |

Nothing wrong with WD40 but I reach for the bottle of GooGone first. Every time.

I’ve used it in the airlines for removing chewing gum from passenger seats, seat belts and windows. And in General Aviation, I’ve used WD40 to remove tape residue from the window of a used plane a customer purchased and flew to our shop for maintenance. The previous owner had a for sale sign taped to each side window and the new owner was afraid to scratch the window trying to remove the tape residue. WD40 took it right off. |

Uh, oh! Mixing the "Who hit John" w/ firearms is a no-no.  I've used zippo lighter fluid in the past, because I had it handy as well as WD40 for the same reason. Goo gone would work if you have it. (Ditto the comments on the Citrus smell) Sly |
