    Good A & D Bound Book Software??

    I am somewhat of a computer guy, and I think a computer version of the A & D "Bound Book" would suit me well. Even though the ATF still wants us to print out lists and send them in with the software, I still think that this might be an option. Anyone gone this route yet?

    What about the DROS paperwork? Taxes etc. I'm looking for workable solutions. All Ideas are welcome.

    I have tried to find some good software as well, I use RK's book now. I have found some but it is very expensive. Blue Book has a good program for personal collections, but I still use the the RK bound for that as well.

    If you find anything let me know. Thank you.

        I've been getting email from this company but it looks like much more than I need. Maybe a bigger shop could use it.

          We use Ebound here. When we first got the software, they were one of the only ATF approved electronic versions of the bound book. I like it a lot, and as a matter of fact they recently did a customized version for us for our manufacturing side. It has a cool feature that allows you to "bulk add" receiver serial numbers, which saves you a lot of typing as you can enter a range of numbers rather than entering each one seperately!

          We had thought about going the spreadsheet route, but I like the Ebound version because it allows you to do searches, print reports for inventory, A & D, etc. I highly recommend it.

                Firearms Records Pro

                I would like to offer my review of software offered for sale by http://www.firearmsrecordpro.com. I purchased the software because it appeared to be the most professional package for sale on the net. However, after I received my download instructions, it was problems from square one. First of all, the temporary username and password they give in the online user manual is incorrect. You'd think that after paying $99 for something, they'd have an accurate user manual.

                Second, once I did get it installed, several buttons in the user interface were hovering over other buttons, and cound not be moved.

                Third, I am now getting database errors. The company suggests I reinstall the software, but guess what - for $99 bucks, I don't think it's worth fooling with. I have generated an Excel spreadsheet which now works very well. I would avoid this software from Firearmsrecordspro. They say they are very popular, but I didn't find the software to be polished or functional at all. And I'm not a computer novice either.

                I consider the $99 I spent on this software wasted money.

                    I've got a Mac but I run my stuff on Numbers (spreadsheet). Copy on the HD, external backup, and a paper copy. Took 10 minutes.

                        Asking the ATF for a variance of any kind is like askinga chick for butt sex on a first date.

                            I made a spread sheet using Excel and I will send a copy to anyone who asks.

                            My ATF auditors just told me the variance is no longer required. You just need to print out your records like once a year. I always kept it on Excel and printed it out whenever I added guns.

                            Why pay money when there is Excel and it is easy to use and search.

                            edit: Send an e-mail to ad@tenpercentfirearms.com and it will auto send you a copy and instructions.

                              I would be interested in seeing the excel version you setup please.
