Inventory

I keep a list of all of my firearms with serial# and approximate value on my personal computer(no hard copies)for insurance purposes and just in case on or more gets stolen or destroyed. It is password protected and not accessible to anyone but me. In a SHTF scenario, or if the Hildabeast gets elected, I will probably wipe the drive it resides on clean(delete and overwrite x100).

I keep one too. I have two hard copies and update by hand, not on a PC.

I can tell you from experience that in case of theft, the cops will make zero effort at recovery if you can't provide serial numbers.

I use Excel and have a spreadsheet that lists Manufacturer, Caliber, Model, Serial # and Year Manufactured.

 

[shootnstarz]

I still have the list of mine w/pics should they ever be dredged up from the deep.

I use Excel and have a spreadsheet that lists Manufacturer, Caliber, Model, Serial # and Year Manufactured.

Just about like my list, but I add where I also keep up with where I got the gun from, and who it was sold too if it ever leaves.

 

[fv22]

Yes, have a list with make, model, caliber, S/N and description. Keep it in the cloud on a password protected backup system I use so it can be accessed no mater where I am.

I also keep load data, sight data, rounds fired, bore wear data, and parts replaced info.

 

[Hopin4aboat]

I take a pic of each as well as a zoomed pic of each serial number as well as where I got it and if I ever sell I'll write down who I sold to. I keep a hard copy in the house but also keep a digital copy in the cloud. If I'm ever worried about confiscation I'll start "selling"

ever since the canoeing accident in the delta swamp, I have no need for a list.....I only have a 22 single shot rifle now and
it was made before serial numbers were mandatory. :sad:

 

[Mouser]

I keep a list on my computer with serial # and where purchased. I email the file everytime I add to the list to myself and my wife in a yahoo email account so that it will be preserved digitally in a server in case of fire, tornado or theft. You absolutely should keep a list as any loss will require that and while many worry about confiscation...here in the deep south i think that is much less likely than a natural disaster and I believe there is no central data base that exists with all of our firearms listed by owner. I know there are many politicians who favor strong gun control but I don't think the path to that will be fast...more likely slow erosion like what is happening in Mass.

I have an inventory on PAPER ONLY. Includes an assigned number, date aquired, make, model, action type, serial #, cal, barrel length/type, metal finish, stock finish, optics, accessories/notes and date sold. I have digital Camera (not cell phone) pics of each side, close up of serial #. Camera set to show date of pics. Pics filed under Assigned number. I keep a copy of the list at home. Other copy and pics stored at another location in case of fire/disaster. Pics are deleted after I print them, SD is then reformated. I don't buy or sell often so paper works well for me.

I keep mine on a sheet of paper that is kept in a safe location, away from the firearms. Also take photo's of the sheet which is kept somewhere on the interwebs in case I need it.

It is updated when a new acquisition is made or something is sold.

 

[RackinRay]

EXCEL and on three different computers, and online at an email account so I can access it anywhere any time. Same workbook has sheets for magazines, emergency foods, and ammo. Good to know, and have a record of, what you have!

 

[FrankT]

I keep one on my computer and back up along with instruction for my wife and my prewritten Obit, just to help her out some when the time comes.

Sounds like some of you have had some really bad luck... If y'all will get a couple 12-packs, I'll bring a few of my SAR divers and well get your stuff back.... lol

Tell about it! I flew out the boat doing 30mph on a shakedown run after the rebuild and then dumped it off the trailer on I10 going 70!
