GunSafe - Firearms Collection Software

Update

I have taken the downloads for GunSafe 2.8 offline. The program has grown quite old, and there are more modern free and commercial offerings now available.

I recommend trying out NM Collector Software.

This page is being left up as reference. Someday, I may finish Version 3 and make it available.

What Is It?

GunSafe is database software specifically designed for firearms collections that is free for use under the License Agreement.

GunSafe includes the following features:

Store as many images of any firearm as you like

Track purchase information, including auction information

Track sale information, including auction information

Track condition & value of your guns*

Track gun maintenance

Keep track of accessories for your guns

Store notes about the gun

Import/Export data

Free to use

View screen shots. (screen shots from Version 2.0)
*To accurately track gun value, you will need to have knowledge of the market. This is not included with GunSafe.

How To Get It

GunSafe 2.8 is no longer available for download
You will need WinZip or some other compression utility to unzip the files. You can get a WinZip trial here. (You do not need to download WinZip if you are on XP or greater, as this functionality is built in. You will still need to extract the compressed files, however).
Unzip the files to a folder on your hard drive
Open that folder. Double-click on the icon labeled GunSafe.exe
Start adding information about your collection!

About Gun Safe & Tech Support

I started out making GunSafe for my own personal use, and decided to distribute it for free to anyone that wants it. As it is free, there is no technical support. Feel free to e-mail questions, I will do my best to answer when I can.

This software is provided as-is.
It works on Windows 98/NT4/2000/XP/Vista.
It does NOT run Mac or Linux.

The first version was completed in 2000, and a major update was done in 2002. Minor updates were made in 2006, resulting in the current Version 2.8. I began working on Version 3, but I've since stopped. There are currently no plans for a new version. If and when a new version is released, it will be a complete re-write, using a different platform.

The #1 GunSafe Support Question: How Do I Add a Manufacturer?
To add a manufacturer, go to the main menu, and choose Define Manufacturers. This will bring up the Manufacturers screen. Click the "New" button to add a manufacturer. You can also automatically sort the Manufacturer name list by clicking on "Manufacturer Name" on this screen. Then go back to the main menu and add a new entry

The #2 GunSafe Support Question: How Do I Change The Password?
The password feature is not functional.
