thats better than nothing if you included pics that would be even better. i just made a list w/serial numbers just a quick list. but yours has way more info and value just in case. good job. but it looks like you have alot of work to do with your collection.

i am needing to do this with my collection. i was going to make a table and have 4 digital pictures:left, right, serial number and receiver crest pictures. I am planning to get a bunch of those clear sleeves in a binder and put any paperwork i got with the gun- receipt, FFL etc in as well.

I figured this would be a good starting point before having an appraiser look them over from the insurance company

Good morning guys!
Planning this might be what you are looking for, it is what I use, maybe it could help you guys! You can even upload Pictures to it!

This is the hyperlink to download and its free, maybe not the best but it works for me.

Check it out and let me know what you guys think.

There's a free trial but I dont see the free version. Am I not looking in the right place?

If you have a copy of Excel it's really easy to set up a template and insert pictures.

I had gunsafe and it was great, until something got corrupt and it took forever to load then it quit all together. I was pissed because that had all the dates I bought things.

I also have a word .doc that has a picture, how much I paid, where I got it, Name, cal, serial, and all accessories or if it was a build all the parts I used. It takes a while to load and its a huge file.

For quick reference I have an excel sheet that is separated by rifle/pistol/shotgun and has manufacturer, model, serial #, caliber, and action. I should add a value column I suppose...I dont want to add pics to the excel file because it would take way long to load.

I use excel on builds too. I have it set up for AK and AR builds with every part listed with a check box to label on hand, on order, or NA; and a price box that is calculated so you can see how much it will cost with different options.

I was bored at Armor School one weekend and have kept up on it since.

SORRY Milsurp
I DID NOT SEE THAT THEY TUCK THE DOWNLOAD OFF OF THE PAGE


The Free trial is for WINZIP!

once you unzip the software and saved it to your computer you will no longer need the WINZIP application, winzip just compresses the files so the download will be faster!

Hope the explanation helped!

I have Gunsafe and Blue Book of Guns Inventory. I have been using the BB mostly.

I have Blue Book but it is not compatable with vista or 7 just XP. I no longer have XP. I contacted them and they said that their inventory service is now stored on their servers and you can access it on line for a yearly fee. Well that isn't going to happen, I'm not storing that information on someone else's server.

[rudrules]

Hey Milsurp, did you get my email and did you tried to unzip and install in your PC yet?

i don't what i was thinking about doing a gun inventory template. i went on line and found a bunch of already made up programs. i will start looking at them this week and see if there is something i like and will work for me. i think i am going to get a remote hard drive for this information.
thanks everyone.

i really like the layout the way you did it ron. or maybe it was just the 1919.

[Milsurp]

Yes I did Rudy. It looks great. I'm going to start to use it shortly. Thanks again.

Here's an example of what I've been using. I need to update my inventory, as I've made some purchases since I made these.

[nevada]

Having the picture is good. I add the accesories, in text and pics, note if genuine or repo, date of manufacture if I know it, serial number, date bought if I know it - I've kept a lot of my receipts. I put info on the sheet that a buyer might want to know since no one else in the family will be able to answer those questions when I'm gone. It's all in a three ring binder.

When the dirt bag stole my Vaquero I ran a copy of the sheet off and gave it to the police.

It will prove to the insurance company that your guns weren't all rust buckets, too.

Hi Hunter, just what did you use to make up your Inventory sheet where you could add the photo, looks just like what I'm looking for.

Hi Hunter, just what did you use to make up your Inventory sheet where you could add the photo, looks just like what I'm looking for.

I just used Microsoft Word and created a table. To add the picture I just used Insert -> Picture -> From File.

If you like, I could email you a copy of the template I made that you could fill in with your own information.

I don't have enough guns/ammo to need an inventory template. :icon_neutral:
