There was a discussion that mentioned layout of bound books and up keep.
I thought I would post what I now use.
I have every firearm in my collection/inventory (C&R and everything, even dummies and replicas) listed with a picture, serial, identifying code and my personal code, which is a "ring-hanger" that I attach to the trigger guard.
If the weapon is an AW - then it is listed as such, with registration number and explanation.
If it is a dummy, blank fire only or pre-ban I have listed it and explained the differences.
(For example UZI has a short Blank only barrel, with four steel pins permanently blocking it and a blank firing attachment welded in place.)
I went through about four different versions of this, that were over complicated reading, before settling on the pictured lay-out.
Each page is in a plastic sleeve, the plastic folder is inside a water proof plastic carrier.
I also have my EFP, COE, FFL, DWP and all the pre-ban registration papers in this folder, all stored in plastic sleeves.
*If a firearm leaves my collection I scan the buyers FFL and keep that in a separate folder with an explanation of date and amount of sale, that one doesn't come to the film set or the shooting range - I gave up using the tiny hand written bound books, too much room for error, or things going missing, getting misplaced.
I use text edit and photo bucket, it takes a few minutes per page.
**The reason I have listed replicas and dummies in this folder is because there have been some incidents amongst prop armorers where DOJ inspectors have seen said replica weapons in the inventory and taken issue, this sounds simple but can get hair raising when you have two dozen MG and SMG replicas or dummies, that look VERY similar to the real thing.
The playing cards are of course simply covering the pertinent serial number and registration numbers for the sake of the photo
