Just finished a two-week long, painstakingly detailed exercise to inventory all of my firearms. I have been wanting to do this for many years, and finally just decided it was time.
I'm pretty much an Excel geek, so I utilized some obscure formulas to make it sortable and searchable in just about any way I want. No, I don't know why! I just did.
Mine consists of three tabs, each linked with different formulas, functions and pivot tables to the master database. Even though it's still a work in process, it's still quite functional. I've got all the details on each firearm including the unique details of grips, triggers, etc., along with all the basic stuff like purchase price and location.
I figure since I now have this, when "da man" decides to come and take them all, they will not label my collection as a "cache" or "arsenal" but simply as a harmless "collection!"
One can still dream...!
Anybody else ever done this same thing?
