Anyone know of a good military surplus store or police tactical storr near Charlotte? I've been tot the surplus store down off Independence...not impressed. I've heard talk about the one out in Kannapolis but I've never personally been. Heard it was small and smells like cigarettes topped with a bad attitude from the owner.

I'm looking for a good surplus store that sells new and used gear (true surplus) and has a good selection. Do we have anything like that around here? I'm afraid my order is too tall to fill judging by my search results. It would be great to have such a place...one that stocks good clothes for the range and tac shoots. Both name brand (like 511 gear) as well as military surplus cheap stuff.

Orlando had both great surplus stores as well as stores geared primarily for the police, but still open to the public.

The Police stores are off I-77 a Clanton road. Arringtons to the west and Lawmens on the east. Both are right next to the Interstate. There is an Army Navy store in Gastonia on Hwy 321. (I-85 to 321s. Cross Hudson Blvd, about 3/4 mile on right next to feed store)

Dont know of another "surplus" store in Charlotte.

Yeah I found those right after I posted this. Looks like Arringtons carries a good selection of clothes for ok prices. Now the trick will getting down there during the week since they seem to be closed weekends.

Delks Army Navy Surplus is maybe a little more than you bargained for. Its located off of hwy 64 in Asheboro.

The building is very large, and he keeps stuff outside also, including a 105mm artillery piece. The inside of the store is probably an acre.

The first time you go, budget several hours. Yeah its that big.

This Delks place is exactly what I like to hear about. Asheboro is manageable for a half day trip. Send the wife down to the pottery stuff in Seagrove and me and the boys can play for a couple hours!
