Why not keep two sets of books one with everything and one bound for the ATF with the stuff they want listed. My bound book lists just the name and serial number and cal and stuff all in one tight paragraph. The other "book" is on CD that has photos of each piece, stories of acusition, history, notes on markings, etc. These are things the ATF doesnt care about,but I do. It may improve future sales of the items, I hate going to an auction and finding that the RARE german mauser is a Bubba special.
