    I haven't went there but I'm going to plan a time for it. I heard that it is very much like "old school" army surplus store. They have items that collectors would like.

    I honestly must disagree. I went there, and the owner, who claims he has been in the business for over twenty years, was telling me BS facts about the items. Want some examples? He takes a Pakistani made CBI patch, and he obviously knows it is. He starts ranting to me about how it is a officer's patch and asks for $10 for it. Then, he takes an OD7 clearly postwar Garand sling and starts telling me it is 1944. The ink stamp is somewhat faded, but it is very easily legible as a 1954 or a 1964. Prices were high. I really didn't like the guy was running business, because he was being cheap and intentionally lying. If you haven't been there, don't waste your time unless you want to get lied to and spend far more money then any of it is worth.
