The Registry is the master record from which every other ARMORY module derives. Track every firearm in the household. Serves operational accountability, estate documentation, and group role assignment. Doctrinal framing: Boston (battery composition), Rawles (caliber commonality), Max Velocity (role-to-weapon assignment), Cooper (Conditions 0–4 storage state).
2,000/battle rifle, 500/hunting rifle, 800/primary handgun, 2,000/.22 rimfire, 500/riot shotgun as minimums. Three times those figures for "comfort." Boston: "Ammo turns money into skill" — practice ammo and defensive ammo are tracked separately. The unit of inventory is a lot: a discrete block of ammunition with caliber, manufacturer, load, count, location, and purpose. Multiple lots per caliber are normal. FIFO rotation — oldest acquisition surfaces first for use; reserve stock stays sealed.
Per TM 9-1005-319-10 (M16/M4 operator manual): "Performance of normal cleaning (PMCS) of an inactive weapon will be performed every 90 days." Per TC 3-22.9 Drill A, a weapon check verifies clear status, serial, attachment integrity, function check, zero confirmation, and magazine serviceability. AR-pattern function checks per Sweeney include the gas-ring stand-up test, extractor tension/spring check, and firing-pin protrusion check. Each event records round count at service, which is what lets the module count rounds since a barrel, bolt, gas ring set, or recoil spring was last replaced. The 90-day figure is the interval for an inactive weapon: a firearm fired since its last service is flagged immediately regardless of the calendar.
Per TC 3-22.9 §E, the zeroing process is: mechanical zero → laser borelight → 25m grouping/zeroing → confirmation out to 300m. "An appropriate battlesight zero allows the firer to accurately engage targets out to a set distance without an adjusted aiming point." DOPE (Data On Previous Engagements) is recorded per optic-firearm-load combination — a different load gives different drops. Wind and air density matter at distance. For electronic optics, battery type and install date are doctrinally relevant — Boston cites Aimpoint battery life of "thousands of hours." Per Sweeney, optic mount screws should have wicking Loctite applied.
Storage resolves the secure-vs-accessible tension: secure enough that unauthorized persons cannot access stored firearms, accessible enough that authorized persons can retrieve them in an emergency. Per the Safety/Threat Evaluation Time Check, time-to-access is the operational test. Defensive weapons are layered across home locations by purpose. Per OPSEC doctrine, the existence and contents of your armory are not general knowledge.
An armory without trained users is a liability. Boston: "Ammo turns money into skill." Cooper's seven principles — Alertness, Decisiveness, Aggressiveness, Speed, Coolness, Ruthlessness, Surprise — define defensive readiness. Cadence: dry-fire 3+ times a week for 10–15 minutes. Individual tasks and collective tasks both matter. Track range sessions per person/per firearm, courses completed, drills, and periodic Cooper self-assessments.
Magazines fail more often than the firearms they feed, and they are the one component a rifle cannot work around. A pool is a group of identical magazines tracked as one record: same make, same capacity, same condition, same location. Split them into separate records when their condition or location diverges. Kobler and Goodwin put seven loaded magazines per fighting rifle as a working combat load (one in the gun, six on the body); the module derives a target from your fighting positions and flags shortfalls. Springs left compressed at full capacity for years do take a set, so the spring service date matters more on staged magazines than on range stock.
Ammunition gets stocked and parts get forgotten. In a resupply-denied scenario a rifle is disabled by a broken extractor spring worth two dollars just as surely as by an empty magazine. Rawles' fill-to-minimum philosophy applies directly: set a minimum level per item, and anything below it is a shopping list entry rather than a judgment call. Cleaning consumables belong here too. Solvent, lubricant, patches and brushes are the difference between a maintenance plan and a maintenance intention.
Maintenance says a firearm was serviced. Accountability says somebody physically laid eyes on it and matched the serial. Those are different claims and only the second one settles an insurance question or an estate question. Army sensitive-items practice runs a 100 percent serial-number inventory on a fixed cycle with a signed record, and a quarterly cycle is a reasonable civilian equivalent. Each inventory captures the date, who conducted it, a per-firearm verified or not-verified mark, and any discrepancy in plain language. The result prints as a dated, signable sheet.
Reports render in a clean field-manual format suitable for laminating, printing, or saving as PDF (use your browser's Print → Save as PDF). Each report pulls live data from the modules above. Export your data to JSON before clearing.
Generates the nine standing reports as one continuous document with a cover sheet and table of contents. Each section starts on a fresh page for clean three-hole punching. Print once, file the whole record in your binder. The single-firearm record sheet is generated separately because it covers one gun at a time.
Complete inventory: make, model, caliber, serial, role, condition, location, NFA status. Estate documentation and operational accountability record.
Per-caliber holdings against published thresholds. Most-deficient first. Operational/reserve split. The shopping list when below threshold.
Firearms exceeding 90-day PMCS interval per TM 9-1005. Last service date, days elapsed, round count. Defensive primary firearms surfaced first.
Locations by access tier (Immediate / Quick / Secure / Cached). What is stored where, who is authorized, time-to-access. Defensive deployment readiness.
Per-firearm zero data cards for printing/laminating. One card per scoped firearm with confirmed zeroes, load, and conditions. Per TC 3-22.9 doctrine.
Per-operator readiness summary. Cooper composite scores, last live-fire and dry-fire dates, courses completed. Group-level skill audit.
Holdings against the derived combat load per caliber, seven per fighting rifle and three per defensive handgun. Pool detail with condition, posture, and spring service dates.
Every item below its minimum level, grouped as a shopping list. Shelf-life warnings for solvents and batteries. Full holdings by category.
Serial-by-serial physical inventory with a signature block. Prints a blank count sheet if no inventory has been conducted yet.
One page for a single firearm: identity, serial, acquisition and value, NFA data, mounted equipment, zero data, magazines, and full service history. The page you hand an attorney, insurer, heir, or buyer.
