my method is to keep a range book that's got a section for each weapon i currently have. it would be easier to have a separate mini-notebook for each gun, but i'm the kind of guy that'll lose them.. easier to keep track of 1 than 10. don't get too complicated with it.. if you have a malf, scribble out a brief description and approximate round count. there's no point being incredibly technical- you don't NEED to have every last little detail, you're just trying to keep track of a given weapon's life and patterns in general.
This is what I do, using typical malfunction codes (FTF, FTE, FTEJ, DF) and when parts are swapped.
