SURPLUS GEAR SHOWN IN THIS VIDEO: bit.ly/3gVOZim
Keep up the great work guys btw you’ve never done an SVT40 video either
Hey fellas if you haven't heard the ATF's new rule change proposals have come down and it's very, very scary stuff. They're redefining what is or is not a firearm, no exaggeration. Can y'all get the word out on that ASAP to get in on the comment period and try to fight this?
i have an uncle that owns several shops outside fort campbell that has been stocking tractor trailer loads of that stuff for years . . . you guys should talk
"Puss pad," a.k.a., rubber bitch.
I've got that same Brownells Dixxon Flannel. Rock on brother! 🤘
Buying a $99 Mosin on my 18th birthday changed my life and made me a true shooting enthusiast. It’s sad future generations won’t experience that
Panic buying during the Obama era, as well as panic buying in 2020, and decades of people sporterizing historical guns, plus import restrictions are to blame for that.
They still can, it'll just cost a bit more.
Dude , that’s funny I bought one right after I turned 18 as well it was a thanksgiving deal for 89 bucks two pouches bayo sling and oiler ... it still warms my heart that I decided to buy one when they were still cheap
which year was that?
even beat up ones go for 300+ now. thanks hipsters and "panic buyers." reminds me of how crypto mining has made graphics card prices go through the roof too.
Just once Chad. Come on just once! When Eric goes to talk over you tell him shut up I wasn’t done ! Hahaha. Good work as always boys. Been watching since Barry taught us how to hold a revolver lol.
@getmy Wn8 it was a joke dude lol. Sort of
As a kid I wore my dad's WW II USMC camo jacket playing army in the woods with my friends. Wish I still had it. Luckily I didn't ruin or lose his KA-BAR.
frogskin was a great camo pattern
When tuned 18 in 2014, I remember going to Gander mountain to buy a $100 Mosin and the guy behind the counter said, "sorry kid, you missed that by about 5 years"
Funny I turned 18 and went to my beloved but long gone gander mountain in Geneva IL in 2014 and got a remmy 870 express!
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.
Essentially what I do these days, their civilian industry equivalent are very expensive when compared, especially for durability. I look for inoffensive for normal wear like browns n greens. Very good bang for your buck.
They took my terror/special forces style selfies away and added knife scars.
It was due in part because of the disclosed art I used em for.
Midwestern [privateer], a [chartered], [company] guy.
Glad I bought bakelite mags when they were available at lower prices.
Lol I bet u are!
Same here. I bought 5 cases of them in the 80's as an investment. Now, I'm saving them for my family.
I wish I was able to I have fake lites only
$30 for 30 round mags & I think I $80 for 40 round.
When I was a kid in the 60's, all my uncle's friends served under the draft and gave me duffle bag after duffle bag full of uniforms, mostly from serving in W. Germany. I remember I even had one M14 mag in the pouch.
Old metal ammo cans are the best. Got a couple m60 cans. For ammo storage
A teenager I worked with at Burger King more than a decade ago, bought at least half a dozen Mosins, and he could afford to shoot them too. We were making minimum wage at the time and working about 20hrs/week.
Sportsman guide has a good deal on bivy bags. Local shops near me just sell cheap dollar store style camping gear
Yeah there's a lot of cheap-o made in chyna crap around, in every store it seems. I Def gotta look into some mil surplus clothing.
ebay is good too if you buy from reputable sources
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.
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.
I can still remember our Boy Scout Camp having surplus Army jeeps and chain saws.......both BSA (sadly) and surplus is gone.
I was a boy scout when the Eagle award meant something. Now they're giving out the Eagle award in a years time. When I was in it took 5 years to earn Eagle. Except now they have to cater to the girls and make it easy. Thus making the rank not worth anything anymore.
Until some d-dag follows u around yelling stolen valor with their phone in your face asking you questions you don't know the answer too
My gun gripe, again, is I wish you guys would talk about that fascinating wall's "decorations".
Yes! Been looking at that wall for a while. Sometimes something changes, but not too much.
Nice and early on this one! One of my favorite subjects too! I got my first surplus this year, a Mosin Nagant from 1942. Love it. M1 Garand, K-31, and M-14 next!
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..
ok
Lesson learned, just because they’re behind a gun counter doesn’t mean you should listen to them.
Eric is chuckling to himself off camera with the whole room with full autos and belt feds and rocket launchers
Thanks
Gonna look at more of this in the future. Glad good milsurp stuff is around!
Love the channel. Thank You for all that You & Chad do to bring us all the information you do. Thank You Again
I love my winter parka. Keeps me warm in the IA winters.
I love Sportsman's Guide!
Thanks for the video.
Years ago i used to hunt in the shenendoah mountains and bushwack for a week or two at a time. Most of my gear was milsurp.
My first mil-surp was my grandfather’s 1903A3 Springfield that I inherited. Once I realized it was a 1903 (I was 12 when he passed) I immediately started taking WAY better care of it and improving it; new scope, new stock (old stock was a sporter and it cracked :/ ).
Got one of those too. Haven’t put a round through it since 1975.
Great video, great advice. Thanks, y'all!
Your comments on surplus firearms brought back memories for me. Back in the early 60s, late 50s, maybe , I recall barrels of Mausers, SMLEs, Carcanos, etc. $19.95, your choice.
Thank God, at least one of you know the difference between quilting, and knitting! I'm just saying.
My dad always had some old surplus as backup winter gear growing up and we didn’t usually use them cause they were too warm haha. You really can get good gear for incredibly low prices.
I wore surplus tiger stripe for hunting camo for years when I was young. It was all I could afford and worked extremely well.
Wore my tiger stripe shirt one day, & the neighbors cat got real cautious around me, sniffed & gently pawed me. I looked like a big 🐅 to him. He was similarly colored green& black
Funny timed video, I was planning on going to my nearby surplus store today - first time in 14 years!
When I was in the Boy Scouts most of my first camping gear was Korean War vintage US surplus. I still love the milsurp stuff.
My family has been getting sportsmans guide, cabelas, smokey mtn knifeworks catalog for about 25-30 years! Now a days its online but I miss sending off the old order forms and waiting weeks for the stuff!
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..
I'm 66. It was great all the real Army/Navy surplus (ALL our camping gear) available in said named stores when I was in my teens and even twenties (sixties, early seventies). Crazy designed surplus military rifles from all over the world in Woolworth's for $100 or less. Miss that stuff.
I was one of the early issue recievers of multicam gear. I loved the buttons replacing the velcro on the cargo pockets. After getting back I bought and replaced my digital camo pants with the new digital ones with buttons like those had.
Black little cold weather under gear you mean ninja suits? Glad I got issued those before they got replaced. I have all sorts of crazy stuff I got issued.
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.
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.
Are there any "good" surplus left?
No.
@The Weapon Collection Lol
It depends on what you want. There are probably some good cots, tents, tent heaters, generators, lights of all kinds etc.
Missed out on those military surplus Acogs, wish I picked up a few now!
I haven't watched you two in awhile.
I can see that you both are starting to become one.
Any good surplus 50cal SLAP rounds out there?
Lol
Too soon man, too soon!😂😂
Haha good one 😆
🌶
Ask my buddy Scott... JKJK
Just placed my first order from Sportsman's Guide, for a couple ammo cans. I didn't expect them to be mint, but they're the rustiest, most beat-up heavily used cans I've ever seen.
I have been shopping at Sportsmans Guide for Several Several Decades Love the Company !
I used to buy old MAUSER, SKS and MOSINS from Sportsmans Guide. Mailed to my house, no FFL transfers. Still enjoying surplus arms but those days are way behind us. Surplus gear is often over built, quality items at bargain prices and almost always worth a go. Boots and clothes definite good buys.
I've been ordering from Army Navy Outdoors since last summer and I find the selection good and the prices fair.
OK are used your link and it took me to Sportsmans guide and that is a done deal thank you very much for the link and the information you guys are awesome thank you again
Love Sportsman Guide. I've been a member for over 10 years now and got both my Colt le6940 's ( 2013 config) from them for $1300/ each....My Arsenal sam7sf for $1,350 and 2 excellent condition Red Box CPO Sigs P226 & p229 for $500 / each and mill surplus Colt M16 A2 parts kits for $500/ each . The list goes on and on / one of my favorites was a pair of German made military surplus 10x50 Steiner binoculars for $150
Bought myself a cheap MOLLE vest and outfitted it with several poaches to hold my gardening tools. Knife, multi-tool, shears, etc. Cheapest investment ever to have everything I need right at my fingertips! Even watched videos on the proper way to attach the pouches and they don't move!!
I tell you from personal experience. When someone comes at you with a tire iron, and you pull the machete from under the seat, they change their mind in a hurry.
Mil-surplus gear is great, I have found that type of gear at my local Command Post surplus store, Because not only do they sell our military surplus but they sell other countries military surplus gear as well. Which is flipping awesome
Sportsman’s Guide is awesome, if you need it, they got it. Thanks for the video Guys.
Love this type of info.
Great short vid boys thanks 🙏
Those wet weather bags are awesome. I keep my deer hunting clothes in them to help keep human scent off of them. They're also handy to just throw in the back of the truck on the way to camp and not have to worry about rain.
Hey 🇩🇪 Guy here, those garments are the best. Yes to the zippers, they are for the boots to slip through. About the fit, they were were intended to go over thermal trousers + uniform.
The jacket that goes with that garments are even better. I use one all the time.
I'm glad I brought that Czech k98 Mauser when I did last year. It's my only surplus rifle but I'm glad to atleast have one peace of History to treasure.
i love shopping for gear in army surplus stores. bought a ton of stuff over the years.
Glad I got my Mauser when I did. There is a lot of great stuff sitting in safes, that older people don't even use any more. I know about M1 Garands, Mausers, SKS, etc. in my neighborhood, that never get shot at all, and the owners never plan to use them.
i keep my m1 in my safe only because 30-06 is almost $2/ round....
@@Quantrills.Raiders Yeah, I haven't fired a round of 30-06 for over a year. Everything is squared away, so I am content to maintain the pistol skills and .22 LR scratches the itch for now.
Very true but they're siblings will probably relinquish them at the local pawn shop.
@@seanomeirs8362 yeah same, my 10/22 is getting a good workout lol
@@Quantrills.Raiders My 10/22 , AR7, Smith and Wesson model 22a1, CMMG conversion and Heritage Rough Rider revolver, were being ignored for a couple of years. The practice that I get from them is actually improving my skills with the bigger calibers. My eyes and mental focus were what I really needed to work on.
Ya I totally agree! Great gear out there.
W most European armies changing over to some variation of multi cam, there’s a lot of cool German, Brit, Norwegian & such. Milsurp clothing is durable and bargains can be found.
Great show guys.
This winter I broke down and bought the Mickey boots. Brand new, made in 1972, but you would never know it looking at them.
I still have a pair of polypros from 2002 when I got out, if it gets real cold I wear them
Picked up a K31 with the diopter sights this year. There are still good options out there, if you are patient.
I was in Tallil AFB in the TX 56th BCT, and I remember you guys in the 48th trickling in to relieve us. At the time we thought the ACU's were cool until we got issued some back home. Then we realized how much they sucked. I was a 45B so we probably ran across one another.
Wore Korean War surplus clothing for several years doing land surveying in the ‘60’s. Very good quality and warm!
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.
"like a berserker ya know, aaahhhh" 🤣🤣🤣 love these guys
Oh man that's another thing, I'm fat, big fatty, was on some medication for a while that made me gain like 70 pounds in a year so a lot of stuff doesn't fit me sadly. I've been working on losing that weight but it's slow going. Someday I hope to fit that medium flak vest I bought
You sound like me : us army boot camp (1985) weighed 165 lbs. Today 245 lbs. I blame it on Monsanto man made enriched vegetables /fruits /🥩. Hang in there buddy you can do it!
Lately I have been buying 100% wool surplus blankets. They are very warm much better than blankets made with cotton or nylon. I have one from the US, one from Poland, and one from Russia. I have also bought a Romanian backpack and a few canteens from around the world. Everything is still in very useable shape some of it looks new. I love it.
The gas mask is a polish mp5, I sell them at work. Great mask
But they said that the mask used NATO canisters. Are these just a newer surplus then?
It’s not it’s a French ARFA
I just want to say that im 15 and my first rifle was a mosin m91/30 that i bought when i was 13 and it once was a pu sniper but was ran back through the arsenal and the scope was removed before it was surplused. I have loved firearms and firearms history for years and stuff like what every little mark on the reciver means fascinates me. I love your guys channel and i have watched for a few years and I plan to keep watching.
That’s illegal
Those mats are excellent table topers. You can cut them to size and tape them down on a work table.
I miss Barry. Did you guys get the same glasses on purpose? LOL Thanks for the excellent episode.
I bought my Mosin about six years ago for $150. Beautiful rifle! I also bought a "lifetime" of surplus ammo, some still in cans. I have a has mask that I bought surplus too; more of a curiousity, but it's in good shape and should be functional.
I got my finnish mosin for 330, glad i got that. Also found my grandfathers old LBV88, went to a surplus store and got all the kit needed for it and then some, sucker is heavy but its go to go when I need it. Even kitted out an LC2 y harness with all the bells and whistles while I was at it.
Army/Navy surplus stores are great places to find some great gear. Mine even sells law enforcement gear! The new military boots are great, they’re like wearing cross training tennis shoes. Very comfortable!! Very durable
They have furniture too! We bought two log beds and some other log furniture from them.
How heavy are the log beds? That'd be an awesome rustic setup that's prob super well made!
@@BabyCharlotteschannel They are beefy. But be prepared for imperfect log rails, they twist and warp a bit. It helps if you're at least a bit of a carpenter and can think about which rail should go where to make it come out best.
Wow that looks like Gore-Tex! That is some of the best military issue that I got to wear when I was in the army that stuff was amazing. In the desert it would help you sweat and keep you cool because there’s no humidity in the desert for you to sweat and help your body cool. That stuff was amazing. Yes I was in the first Gulf War. Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, united Arab emirates, in a long list of other countries. I was stationed at Fort Bragg but I was only in country for a short time. I swear they did that just so we could come back and train and then send us back overseas LOL. That commercial where the Navy says you’ll see the world yeah that should be for the army LOL
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.
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.
Milsurp gear makes great camping gear. The US wool blanket I bought two years ago was one of my greatest cold weather hammocking investments I've made. I keep one in my car and was transporting firearms from one place to another and forgot a case, so I tossed the woolie over the guns and called it good.
best winter gear EVER!
I was just checking out mil surplus charcoal lined suits for hunting/scent cover. Like $30 from a website I found. Pretty cool
Camel backs are great I own a few. I did have to modify the drinking tubes w/ a removable adapter for my gas mask drinking tube. That works great
Doesn't seem like that long ago that our biggest local gun store had cases of Mosin-Nagants piled up on their showroom floor. The local Dunham's Sporting Goods had cheap SKSs for sale.
I have an almost whole, German Flectarn web kit.
Hardest part is that it has a bespoke connection system that is solid and quiet but difficult to fabricate a connection for pieces that are not made for the system.
Poncho liner, don't go hunting without it. Whether it is Colorado, or Texas, it can be used in a multitude of uses. I like it to cover up my face when in the sleeping bag, or to cover the tops of my legs when I am sitting in the blind. It retains your heat and is very light weight.
Im after some late vietnam surplus like the chicken vest for us heli pilots but theyre super rare to find now...especially living in the UK
I bought many surplus rifles from dam near every country. Most less than 35.00 German Mausers swedish Mausers love the 6.5 55 round. The sleeping bags I have are great . Wool blankets Alice packs. Good video.
my favorite surplus items i’ve ever gotten are my flecktarn jacket and alice web gear
Today I learned you don’t knit or crochet a quilt, you quilt a quilt
Also I LOVE my 50s era Swedish wool tunic when it’s cold outside. Works great over either casual or semi-formal wear like jeans or khaki dress pants in the winter.
I’ve had a good experience with Sportman’s Guide in Slidell La.
It is a good topic though. I’d love to have a whole bunch of them oiled well preserved surplus guns 💪
You're not kidding. It kills me that I was too busy with fast bikes, cars and girls when I was younger to be bothered with the killer deals on 47's, 74's and Soo many others!
thank you for the video!!!
Surplus is getting newer. Just saw some “surplus” berettas
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.
Very interesting. Thanks.
For me it tends to be a lot of things like gloves, scarves And good surplus wool blankets
Great topic
