Amazing place, with amazing stuff and amazing welcomeness! The guy running the store is super cool and informed. I’ve only been twice and each time I got the coolest gear and I definitely need to make more visit! 10/10

I have been buying from here for a little over a year now and I have had no bad experiences. Prices are really good on all items. I have sold some stuff in the past and had no issues with that.

Not sure if it was the way I was dressed or what but the staff wasn’t very friendly when me and my girlfriend initially had walked in and came off as though they didn’t want us in there. Don’t plan on revisiting. Great Selection though.

Outstanding service. I was shopping around and I was carrying a little more than I could expect to hold but they got me a bag so it was a lot easier to shop. Overall, the selection is pretty outstanding and the time spent here feels like a time. Capsule 5 out of five would recommend

Staff is helpful and friendly. It's also always fun to see what is new in stock every week given how collectable items go fast!

This is a great source of military surplus. I also learned of their numerous educational offerings. I plan on coming back over and over. Thank you Carl Bogar Jr. For your service to not only Kenosha's community but other communities as well.

My 13 year old son is really into military history, especially WWII. He wanted to see if there were items to create a doughboy outfit to wear for Halloween. The owner went in the back and came out with a WWII officer and enlisted soldier uniform. It was the coolest thing and he worked to get pants and the whole ensemble for him. We ended up getting both. 🙂 The owner was informative and kind, and we were glad we drove 45 minutes on a whim. So many cool things in there and a must stop if you’re in the area.

I've been here several times and never once have I been dissatisfied. The owner is polite, professional, very informative, and friendly. Plus it's the only surplus store with real military gear between Milwaukee and Chicago. If you go here you won't be let down.

Awesome selection of gear! Just like all MilSurp joints you never know what your going to get and I must have hit these guys at the right time! Loads of glorious M81 the last time I was there and super friendly staff.

Not the biggest selection but extremely well organized and all there surplus good's were in great condition. He also has a very nice selection of field manuals and other assorted military literature. It's definitely worth your time to stop by.

I've been to this place many time's and always leave with something cool. The owner knows a lot about the items he's selling and is always very helpful. He sells everything from ww2 all the way up to OIF. If you're looking for some good vintage/surplus militaria I'd check this place out.

The man running the place is very nice and friendly, he sold me a pair of gloves at a reasonable price after they didn’t have a price tag on them, he served for the U.S. and I respect him very much for that. 5 stars
