Do you guys keep a running inventory of your firearm collection on file with software like Word or Excel? I use Excel to keep track of my collection with info including... make & model, serial #, value of the firearm and when and where I bought it.
I can sure tell you this, stuff adds up fast. I hope the wife never finds the file

I use Gunsafe. Demo Pics.       |

I take photos every year to update my inventory. Close ups of the make/model/serial number and then an overall photo to document the overall condition and any accessories added. I've got a Remington bolt action with more in the stock, scope, rings, and mount then the rifle cost originally.
Umbrella policy covers replacement costs - not current depreciated value. |

I keep an Access database that details every firearm with their serial number, purchase price, related accessories, and a single picture. It also keeps a complete inventory of all my ammunition as well as a detailed log of every round fired along with best/average group sizes, malfunctions and some other data. With a few clicks I can tell the exact round count, preferred ammunition, accuracy, malfunction rate, and a host of other things, for every firearm I own. It was a bit of a pain to set up and maintain but the ability to track that kind of stuff is invaluable to me.  |
