Hey all, hope you've started this year out well.
Something to do before too much longer. One of the best things about this site is you can buy and sell to your heart's (and budget's) content. The issue is: Do you have documentation for the stuff you have RIGHT NOW?
I used to do a good job of documenting what I have, what's on it (sights, scope, bases, rings, etc), and any thing else I wanted to keep track of. This of course seems to fall to the wayside as things move around in the long term. Now I have to think about what's where and what's on it.
Take some time and at least take detailed pictures of every frame/barrel/thing you have. This includes powders, primers, dies, bullets, boxes, etc. In other words, if you have to get anything replaced because of theft/fire/flood you have enough documentation to prove you had it. Also, get pictures of every weapon you have and a picture of the serial number and store this somewhere you can get to it quickly from the web (send yourself an email, or photobucket, or any of the other online sites). This way if they're stolen you can give the police a copy very quickly. If it doesn't have a serial number, then take a lot of detailed pics.
Its amazing how much TC stuff you can accumulate over the years, and it's really amazing how much it costs to replace it.
Honestly, I have all the barrels I want or could ever need..... wait, look, there's another!!

I do this for all of my weapons. Difficult to do at first, and also if you stop doing it for a while. Best to just know it's going to suck the first time you do it, and then just make sure that you track everything from that point on. I try to list everything, and what type / brand / size it is - from a custom trigger or barrel, right down to the brand and type of scope rings.
I asked a good friend if he would mind holding a copy of my "inventory" a while back, and he agreed to. This is a "just in case something ever happens to me" list. I thought of it because when my own father died when I was only 3 years old, my mother didn't know the value of my fathers firearms. She gave a lot of them away because she just didn't know what to do with them, or what they were worth. My plan was to have my good friend be a reliable source of knowledge so that my wife wouldn't do the same if I accidentally pass away. The problem is... I haven't put that plan into motion. I'm still sitting on a (needs to be updated) list. Might do that this rainy weekend.
Good reminder Crubear. Thanks for posting.
All the best,
Glenn
If at first you don't succeed... buy newer / better equipment!

Your are exactly right, just ask Hillary how that lying is working out for her...
