Ahhhh...that's what it is...industrial strength tape. Makes perfect sense, now. I wasn't quite sure what to call it.
Looks like someone just touched up both peeling ends a bit to keep it from peeling further, so not a complete re-do. The rest of the barrel is clean. Fortunately what little touch-up adhesive is there comes off very easily.
I definitely want to use an adhesive that will bind, but will also be easily removable if it starts to peel back again. Hmmm...
