Thread: What have you found at a "Surplus" store?

I grew up with Surplus stores...Three! German Mausers, one of each caliber for ...$14.95. Mark One Webley for ..$14.95. US cal 30 carbine for $28. Bayonets and knives for a pittance. Cords and cable for little or nothing. Flight suits $12, Bunny Boots for $5

Not No More. The onliest ones I find in the area are $2 dolla stores.

surplus stores here in oz at least the ones I used to frequent used to be good 30 yrs back now days they sell nothing more that chinese made junk ..it dont matter now we have ebay

I hate to say what I bought at one and it was very good. I bought some mesh like long underwear at one. New but from some other country not the USA. It was the warmest stuff you could find even though it had large openings in it. Almost like a fishing net looking material.

I know I will pay dearly for telling this.
