Isn't there a big surplus store in Monroeville on Rt. 22? I think it is called Ralph's Surplus IIRC...

Thanks for the replies. Ralph's in Monroeville is not the store it was 20 years ago surpluswise. I have not done buisness with Patriot, but have the other two and they are good.
Thanks again

ok, so here's my wish list
ACU Pattern MOLLE E tool cover
" " double mag pouch holds 2 M16/AR15 30 round mags
and lastly, a ACH helmet. I already have a PASGT, want a new one. Made the mistake of passing one up a year ago.
Thats just for starters

It's called Beacons Surplus and they have a pretty decent selection.....except it is all the way down here in Maryland so I think thats out of your driving range haha.
I'll stop by tomorrow though on my day off and see if they have any of what you're looking for.

On another note, ACh helmets might be a bit difficult to find in surplus stores considering they are relatively new and not necessarily surplus yet. I would check Ebay though, my roommate found his there.

Thanks Justin, What part of Maryland? Last year a had two of the ACH helmets in my hand, brand new, no sweat stains, complete. $75 each. A supply guy from a guard unit in ALtoona took those , several new Camelbacks, Bugout bags, and two complete molle vests with pouches and sold it all to a surplus store up north for Christmas money. I call that stoer once a week to see if they have gotten any more in since and no luck. I didn't realize what a deal I had in my hands at the time.
I have checked Ebay and while cheaper than online stores, still pricey. I may go that route. Get ahold of me whne you get back to Indiana. I actually found a Colt M4. Can't wait to have time to go out and throw some rounds down range.

75 bucks for an ACH???
That was a stealllllll haha.
My roommate got an old PASGT for around 100....and this was definitely a used one!
Im finishing up at work so I'll see if I can head down to this place after depending on when I actually get out of here. I live in Upper Marlboro, MD btw...its right outside of the DC area

i'm still in the army for a few more weeks....i never saw most of the acu crap until i went to iraq in 07. i do, however, have some surplus pouches for mag and grenades i won't be needing anymore. i was thinking of using my old LBV around my driver's seat and putting some of the pouches facing backwards to store small crap, but you want to buy anything, i could give you decent prices. i don't know why you would want ACU anything, in my opinion its the worst camoflage ever designed, but i upgraded everything to multicam and have no use for it. if you want some quality gear, this is where the gear-whore in my unit like to buy from:
www.tacticaltailor.com (http://www.tacticaltailor.com)
its a small shop outside fort lewis, WA. NICE gear. expensive though.
