Do a historical search in here and see if you can find some an old thread. I also believe that the NRA has something as well as the Blue Book. Basically you just want to document your collection. .. ....

I use the Gun Log app on my iPhone. Keeps track of everything including maintenance, accessories, pictures, range sessions, in addition to the basic info on the gun like SN, where you bought it, value, condition, etc. . You can distinguish between current collection and sold guns. It's a whopping $.99.

I use this really old program called "Word". I simply write a few lines about what I paid, description and why I bought it; and I update current values from time to time.

Or even a simple database can be set up like you would do with Word.

i use an excel spreadsheet. strongly recommend printing and storing in a safe place in case of computer crash though... just in case the IRS needs that info for your next audit (sorry, i couldn't resist)

seriously though, i keep a spreadsheet to include when procured, from where, caliber, model, serial number, amount paid, approximate worth, and any additional notes (like an attached scope). one of these days i'll get more organized and take pictures and cross reference them.

Excel. Do my own design for headings and information to be recorded. I use Excel for my handloading information as well.

If I had money to spend on software for gun collecting, I wouldn't have any money for the software because it would have been spent on training, guns, or ammunition.
