    Default Army Navy surplus stores in your neighborhoods?

    I'm in the market for aquisitioning some military paraphenalia but particularily an OD Green, vintage M-65 Field Jacket. (Not the camo types.) Does anyone have a good military surplus store in your neck of the woods that's somewhat descent that may carry this kinda stuff? Best one I saw was in Anchorage, but that's too far for me to go find stuff. I know they got em online but I know that they got a bunch of those field jackets for around 25 bucks somewhere in some of these stores. Brand new they go for 70 bucks with a liner which aint bad, but I like the used and abused, and washed a zillion times look to it. I used to hate wearing a field jacket but I guess I took it for granted that it was a great all purpose coat that could take alot of abuse. Must be OD green size around a 2x or 3x, circa prior to 1970's and up to around 1984....when the USMC used those ....liner not that important, I can pick them up anywhere. Thanks for checking..... I'll fly there to get it if you can turn me on to an exhilerating experience at a military surplus store.

    29, there is a really good one in LAS near Nellis AFB in NLV. Pop's just got a military duffel for a UIO trip. I will ask him to check it out.

    Nellis, AFB? Exactly, most great surplus stores are near military bases. That may play down to exactly killing two birds with one stone. I am in the market for a LAS run here shortly. LAS....as in Vegas right? Can you at least get me a name, I can look them up and ping it out when I get there. I used to have a duffel bag with all countries visited I wrote down in a black marker. I remember paying somewhere around 10 bucks some 30 years ago, wonder what a duffle bag cost now. Oh yea, also lots of Marines probably dumping gear from Barstow and 29 Palms area for a little bit of change. Great response. I appreciate that.
