Loctite Removel???

I just got in a Marlin-375 Win and when I took off the scope mount base there is loctite all over the matt finish/bead blast finish. Is there and way to get this stuff off without heat or hurting the finish? Thanks for any help!! Vernon

Be aware that anything that will disolve loctite will also remove/blemish the stock finish. What ever you try, be VERY careful not to get it on the stock.
The best thing to use is what you already have on hand. As already stated, nail polish remover or acetone are good choices. If you don't have either but do have carburator cleaner, that should work also.

For Quick Set 404 Adhesive and SuperBonder Instant Adhesives.
If you have a problem getting something apart that's sealed with Loctite, you apply this solvent liberally to the bond line. Solvent will penetrate between parts and dissolve the bond. Soak parts if possible.
Seems like this stuff should solve your problem.
It comes in a 3 fl. oz. bottle. This may be what cbxjeff saw on the shelf.
Added note: I don't imagine this is the only ingredient, but it contains N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.
Normal caution warnings,- don't get in your eyes, wash your hands, don't drop it into wife's tea cup, etc.
I used some of it today on some old set up red 290 or 262 and it worked perfectly.

Make sure you use in a WELL VENTILATED AREA!!!!

For the loctite removal, I'd try a nice hairdryer and some q-tips. The hair dryer ain't gonna hurt the gun and the q-tips will suck up the liquid mess
