I recently purchased a new unfired 2018 shot show Model 1894 SRC in 32 special(serial #3 of 200 made). Due to the history of this calibre not being available for decades, I’m keeping it as a collector for now. 

My question is will the factory barrel sticker adhesive, do anything(mark, blemish, fade, etc) the blueing on the mag tube. I don’t want to take it off if it will detract from the value someday(not that it’s a high demand collector piece) but still.

I don’t know if it will damage the bluing but the area under the sticker will not patina the same as the rest of the barrel and years from now there will be a spot.  The sticker might protect the blue or not?  A true collector of these may want the sticker left on?

I don’t know if You can , but if You can get the sticker off without tearing it , I would take it off and keep it with the gun. Try a hair dryer.
