I am searching for a firearms database software so that I may keep track of my firearm collection. What do you gentlemen and ladies use for this purpose? I am more interested in features of the software than price.

I just use an Excel spreadsheet. "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." Sherlock Holmes | |||

A spreadsheet should be fine for most things unless, say, your collection numbers similar to a battalion arms room. | |||

I also just use an Excel spreadsheet. Include at a minimum make, model, caliber and serial number. I add an estimate of replacement cost and date of purchase. Also list any notable extras like scopes, special sights, etc. | |||

Excel here as well. What is useful about Excel for this is that you can also inventory and list your ammunition. If you can handle doing very basic formulas and functions you can do some creative things with the numbers. In my case I have a few very odd calibers and the spreadsheet helps me avoid going out and buying ammo when I already have that grain/type in the ammo safe. I tried one Windows gun inventory program but I did not trust the "feature" of supposedly going online and checking current values for the firearms. Can't say I care for that little "ET phone home" when you have serial numbers and types of your firearms in the database... | |||

Excel for me as well. I also have pictures of each firearm, and have the pics and spreadsheet on a flash drive. | |||

Excel works for me. I also keep a 3 ring binder with my inventory in it. That goes into a fireproof document safe. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Apps that go on your phone store your inventory in someone else's database. Wonder who is looking at that? ------- Trying to simplify my life... | |||

excel with make, model, year of manufacture, serial #, description, accessories, personal comments (like when/where I got it), and estimated value. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

I use RangeLog ( Range Log Link). I started using it when I shot IDPA to keep track of scores, but you can date log inventory, maintenance records, shots fired per gun, cleanings ... As has been said, Excel will suffice for most things though. ------------------------------------------------------ Though we choose between reality and madness It's either sadness or euphoria | |||

I'm old school - Lotus 123. No - Excel. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Just an Excel spreadsheet here to include make, model, caliber, serial number, date of purchase, and price paid. Also keep ammo inventory on another tab. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||
