Army Surplus

[mozzirep]

Does anybody know of any good army surplus sites based in the uk?

LOL

Thanks for the plug but sadly I have almost zero stock. 3 pairs of boots and 2 jackets and thats all.

On the plus side I am now a retailer of Helly Hansen technical range, got a lovely 160 page catalogue that uses drawings instead of photo's and has no prices.

Karrimor to follow, Danner boots have a $2000 minimum order, but as they are so dear thats only about 10 pairs!

Also my business grant cheque from Uni still hasn't arived, it was secured a month ago.

I've sent the lad a private msg with a good surplus supplier, not posting it as I refuse to help the competition that much!

Could you PM me also please?

Ithink most army navy stores were cleaned out before the Golf War II will need to take stock

Pardon?
Kev, Slivermans are very happy that you didn`t mention them c/o Kilometer End Rd

Didn't think Silvermans did actual surplus, thought it was all new kit. They are also chuffin dear so I would never advise them anywaY!

No worries due to golf war, MoD are still churning out kit as usual, before the start I could still buy desert boots, desert camo.

If you want to buy off anyone buy off www.outdoorsurplus.co.uk

We are not stocking any more surplus kit, got tiny amount left and would rather get gucci new stuff.

Surely, Silvermans are on Kilometer and Three Fifths End Road?!

Mark.

Is surplus second hand kit, or is it kit that the MoD has too much of? (Daft question, I mean, the MoD, have extra kit, puhleeze!)

[soldierblue]

Rabby it is a collection of both, also they go to army auctions to get some stuff also stuff that are not up to spec so that get sold as well

[K24io]

Surplus is either used kit or stuff they over-bought/under-issued.
Not to be confused with seconds.
Also the MoD don't have auctions anymore, all goes through the one company. Nothing like a good old fashioned monopoly now is there?
