Anyone use any computer programs to keep a firearm inventory of your collection?

[btnh6668]

I have read of a few programs out there i was just wondering if anyone here was using one?

I think most folks use a spreadsheet program like Excel or Openoffice. I have a spreadsheet where I track mine on.

I have been eying this program for a while http://www.nmcollectorsoftware.com/

Judging by the sample pics i think its just about what im looking for. I just like to read other opinions before i jump into buying something.

My spreadsheet is between my ears. That's all I need.

Hmmm you obviously need more of an inventory. I use an Excel spreadsheet. Simple.

I created my own db using bento (http://www.filemaker.com/products/bento/) but you have to be a Mac user.

Wait, doesn't the government keep track of all of our guns for us?

I have often thought about taking a digital photo of my firearms including accessories and all pertinent info like serial number, caliber, and manufacturer with estimated value, so my wife doesn't get ripped off if I should pass. But then again my last wish will be to be buried with my guns, because where I’m going I’ll need them. I think it would make a nice t-shirt saying .

I decided to use this program instead

$15 is worth it.

I've used this package for several years. It is very capable; indeed, it will do far more than what I need, but I like it. Adding photos -- sort of a must for insurance purposes -- slows it down a tad, but not enough to be a problem. I recommend it.

I have a cool spreadsheet set up to keep track of all my firearms+identifying info, their round counts (manually entered), and ammo inventory (based on inputs from what I bought, sold, and shot)

I don't use it.

 

[Keystone]

I use LaTeX, but that's because I got bored one day. Serial numbers, purchase price, sale price (blank, since I haven't sold any, yet), dates of purchase and sale, etc. If I ever get bored enough, again, I'm going to add in photos of each.

I wish I needed a program like that!

I use gunsafe. It's been discontinued but I have a copy to send you if you send me your email address.

 

[Horrible]

MS Excel works fine for me.

Inventory

Can't that same govt, that already knows what we all have in the safe, trace these programs in our PCs and get another copy. Foil hat time but I like the between the ears form of inventory. Wife had a great idea she says to me to "put them all down in an e-mail and send it to myself" that way any-ass that finds my info really has a good idea of the location of the one rusted shut .22, and single shot .410 (that won't) even open anymore, i happen to have in the attic
