Gun notebook?

That makes a lot more sense. I was thinking that maybe you were a super meticulous record keeper, with row upon row of filing cabinets of every piece of paper you had ever shot. There is nothing wrong with that, it just isn't a life choice I would make.

Just keep the serial, description, and receipt... in a safe place.

Yep, I keep a log for each gun in my phone and update anytime I go to the range or buy accessories, etc. I like knowing exactly how many rounds each has fired (or since I've owned them for the used ones). I also note the dates. I have a range membership, and when it's renewal time, I want to see if it was worth it, etc.

The only thing that I do is keep my RI-60 (and my one PP). I do keep one of my targets that I keep for legal reasons when I 1st shoot my gun with my carry ammo.

The main reason I keep a log for my 2 rifles is reliability.
I record the rounds count, misfire and other failures (if any).
I also keep the records with reloading data and corresponding accuracy.
Now I exactly know what ammo is good and bad for my rifle, What magazine is the most reliable, what bullets and powder to buy.
By the way I came to reloading recipes quite different from Hornady reloading book
How would I know all this without records?

Let the wife keep it or at least know where the log is kept.

Dont ever let the ladies sell these guns for what they were told we paid for them..

My wife will hate me after I'm dead when she goes to clear out my gun safe and sees the actual receipts kept by the green cards.

Yes.. I keep a log Sheet for everygun in an excel file. Each gun's info is entered in a seperate tab with info like: date of purchase, sight picture for the gun with different type of ammo that I used. Then a logsheet with date, range name, number of rounds, type of ammo, comments, and cleaning dates.

I used to clean my guns (field strip style) after every range trip. Now I do it at 500 or 600 rounds.

This logsheet is handy for maintainance purposes like when to change the recoil spring and stuff like that.

+1 i do exactly the same thing...except i clean every 1k-1.5k rounds lol
