Which form serves as the property record for small arms?

• A. CG Small Arms Weapons Report Form R-865
• B. Small Arms Inventory Form S-100
• C. Arms Property Ledger APL-1
• D. Weapons Accountability Document WAD-1

Answer: (A)

Official property records for small arms are maintained on a dedicated form that documents each weapon’s identity and custody history. The standard form used for this purpose is the CG Small Arms Weapons Report Form R-865. It collects essential details such as the weapon’s description and serial number, current custodian, issue and return dates, and any maintenance or status notes. This single document serves as the authoritative record you would use during inventories, audits, or investigations to establish accountability and trace the weapon’s chain of custody from issue to current keeper. While other forms handle related tasks like periodic inventories or broader property ledgers, they do not serve as the official property record for small arms.
