Surplus gear is not only fashionable, but it is highly practical. And you even get to own a piece of history all in one go. Totally worth it over buying conventional clothing, often times it is better and I’ve considered buying surplus over modern stuff.

@DeckDogs4Life 3 года назад

Note: make sure you check the gas mask information. I have heard from a lot of places old Russian gas masks used to use Asbestos in their filters. If you're just collecting, that's alright but if you plan on legitimately using the gear, just make sure it wasn't made with things like asbestos.

@DustMug 9 месяцев назад

That was in GP--5 filters. They are still safe to use so long as you don't try to break into them. Don't disturb the asbestos and it won't disturb you.

My dad and I will never forget when we went to a gun store to buy my first deer rifle in 2013. There was a mint condition K-31 for $200. I was between that and this Remington 700 with a removable magazine. The guy at the counter said, " there's almost never any ammo for that swiss gun". So we got the Remington. Years later it's 2019, my dad and I buy 2 k-31 rifles for $600+ each..

i grew up next to the SG warehouse. there is no more interesting smell in the world than walking in there. All that surplus gear odor mixing together.

@LuvBorderCollies 3 года назад

Lucky dog! Yes on the unique odor in the store.!! Every time I went to MSP, stopping at the SG outlet store was mandatory. Never knew what brass and steel goodies awaited. This was mostly in the heyday of foriegn rifles & ammo. Always had to pick up a crate or three of ammo. Best deals was on ammo that was too small quantity to put in the catalog. Walking in was like being in Milsurp Wonderland. lol Still have a case of beautiful Equador 8x57 that has a lot of dead primers. But it so cheap it would've cost more to ship it back.

@ung427 3 года назад

Hi guys! I just recently purchased a sporterized M1903 with a Lyman 48C, with the stripper clip slot machined into the 48C, a Nickel Steel bolt with the SN electro-pencilled into it, polished in the white, Muzzle and Throat erosion 1.0, blued receiver and barrel, original barrel SA from 1928, star-gauged, in a nasty looking aftermarket stock, for well under $1000. I bought a nice aftermarket walnut stock, and the missing metal, and I have myself a beautiful National Match grade M1903 Springfield. Then a month later I lost in an auction bidding for a round-receiver Mosin 91/30 because the bidding went over $1000!!! Over $1000 for a rifle worth $70!! Go figure. I'm literally holding my NM grade M1903 with a beautiful full length walnut stock that I finished in boiled linseed oil myself, and fitted to this beautiful action, with an M1907 sling, all for under $1000, and someone out there is holding a Mosin 91/30 for over $1000... I'm repeating myself.. but this world is truly up-side-down.

Picked up some military surplus 7.62x45 for my Vz 52 last year. Last weekend I took out 3 boxes (45 rounds) and I had 4 rounds that fired correctly, 1 was a hang fire, and the rest all failed to fire even though they had good primer strikes. Had a good laugh and still enjoyed my range time. The 4 that did fire correctly all hit the bullseye of the target. Go figure..

The best surplus clothing I have is this quilted Swedish m90 parka that I bought for $20 at a surplus store here six years ago. I’ve worn it every winter since here in Alaska. I don’t even need to layer up with this thing it’s so warm. This year I ripped a small part of it on a door frame, and when I went to try to find another I saw that they’re fetching HUNDREDS of dollars on eBay from Korea and Japan of all places. The only thing I wish was different about is is the hood, I want one with a quilted hood, this one just rolls up into the collar.

The good old days of SKS rifle for 79.95 are long gone. I can remember getting Mauser rifle for 39.95 like new condition. Them days are gone too. Was a great time for me.

@BabyCharlotteschannel 3 года назад

I remember hearing about my uncle buying a Mauser for like $24 delivered to his doorstep from sears and robuck! I would love to find the AK mag version of the SKS and the regular stripper clip version too. They sure as heck are NOT cheap anymore!

6:43 takes the cake. Also chad is permanently in Portland hipster camouflage now. He can attend any sort of rally without anyone being the wiser.

Used to rely on the old US Army gabardine wool pants in the Winter, especially for hunting. Can't get that quality anymore without spending a fortune. I also regularly wore Army/Air Force all cotton chinos. The last pair I got in the mid 90's I got one wearing, but the cotton thread was dry rotted.

Hey I had those 2005 ACUs they were comfortable as hell. We were getting ready for deployment looking like we went shopping at goodwill for the gear. Woodland IBA, Desert boots, ACUs Od Green Tactical tailor racks, OD Green Alice packs and woodland assault packs. OD Green, Coyote, and three color desert pouches oh yeah we blended in HAHAHA

When Labron James broke Kareen Abdul Jabbar's NBA scoring record several days ago, the game stopped for ceremonies, speeches, etc. His family came out onto the court, his first hug was from his mom who was wearing a "Labron" tank top but over that was woodland camo over-shirt which to me looked like the British woodland pattern.

My was a Springfield O3A3 (1965), the barrel was shot out. Replaced the barrel and it’s a tack driver. I was in the army during Vietnam, as for clothes, the only thing that came out of that era that was worth a damn was the jungle fatigue jacket, the M-65 Jacket was ok, but rest was junk wouldn’t last.
