Record keeping solution for guns

[DaveInOroValley]

I have been able to find a couple of different freebies out there one a Word doc and the other html based but haven't been able to locate a decent spreadsheet format (for excel or any other) that would be preferable in ease of entries and I am way too lazy to build a spreadsheet on my own.

Any recommendations from our members for something that you've used and liked or even bought if it's not a free resource?

dude keep is simple, just use excel with basics like make model serial, purchase date, sell date, unit cost, etc

don't think you will gain anything by having extra info like round count and color (stainless or blue) ... you're just going to go crazy with attributes ... keep it simple to what you need

Would just modifying something like a home inventory template work? They're fairly simply to begin with, and you should be able to trim off unwanted columns or change anything you want with very little effort.

One pretty basic example would be like this one:

I guess I'll just create one, just being lazy

I just take pictures that include make, model, and serial number, then keep all receipts and dros docs in a safe. I can see how a spreadsheet would be convenient, though.

Brownells has a great inventory sheet which as all the info needed/a place for a photo and a slip sheet to place it and any manuals/receipts etc into. This fits into a 3 ring binder. One per firearm and 25 to a pack.

Aside from falling off a log, I can think of few things easier than making a gun registry spreadsheet template.

The onerous part is filling it in, depending on how many guns you have.
