Put a little penetrating oil on the spot of glue. Let set a while and tap on it with a non marring hammer. Brass or plastic. Should pop off.

Methyl ethyl Ketone will soften the epoxy.
Use a qtip
Take it back and make the Smith remove it while you wait
Then you will see any imperfection

In the car shop sometimes we would give a hard glue spot like that a blast with freon, and smack it with a screwdriver handle. I'll bet that cannot be done any more.

i scrape epoxy from blueing with a sharp edge piece of copper. it will not damage the blueing. DO NOT use it on a glass beaded (satin) finish;. it will leave copper marks. don't know why he would have used epoxy. i suspect something went wrong.

sorry i was thinking front bead. if you can get it out; scrape over it with the brass. most center beads are tapered. should install them with 222 loctite (pink) or blue

Ok , here is the real way to remove it.
Use a blow dryer to heat it up and the edge of a wood stick to push it off. I had a Model 37 The previous owner epoxied
a buckhorn sight to the receiver to use for deer. It was a glob with a long thin drip down the side.. . Worked in a few minutes of heating.

How to remove epoxy from barrels

I attached some lead weights to the barrels of my O/U under the forearm wood using a bit of epoxy. I thought it would hold but it didn't. I have some epoxy residue on the mid-rib. I can heat the epoxy up with a heat gun and remove the epoxy... My question is would the heat ruin the finish on...

Kinda what I expected, lots of opinions not sure which route I’ll take. Probably try the heat gun since it will likely cause the least amount of damage.

I heard that you actually did it.

Don’t believe everything you hear mr Tron!

Kinda like me saying “I’ve got a friend with severe Trolling issues.”
