Army-Navy Store

[Firpo]

(Figured this was likely the best forum for this.)

Used to have a great one right by my house that seemed to have just about everything but down here in Lawton there are two and both are fairly sparsely supplied. Anyone else like killing some time in an old Army-Navy store and where are the best ones in Oklahoma? Loved spending time with my kids in them, more like a playground……lots of fun. Here’s my baby trying on a giant coat

The best one I've found is in Okarche, on the main highway just south of town.

That's Stroh's Surplus on Hwy 81

Brigadoon Surplus in Del City.

Been there a few times, nice people, good selection.

The one in Tulsa is by 41st and Memorial across the street from the overdrive used car lot. Went in a couple weeks ago. I liked the old one on Admiral when i was a kid. Bought lots of cool stuff there.

Not many years ago, there was a good one in Lawton. It was called Surplus City, and it was near the airport. I hated to see it close.

There was one north of Seminole on hwy 99, just south of I-40 and a couple hundred yards east, but I'm not sure if he's still in business. I haven't been in there in over 10 years.

Kenneth Rhynes in Ada is a neat place. They sells more boots and other gear than army/navy surplus, but it's still an awesome dive to prowl around in.

All Pawn & Surplus in McAlester is a neat place. Not too much mil-surp but a ton of guns and other gear with pretty fair prices.

I think that store's been closed for a couple year. Nothing on their FB page since late 2020

They do have a lot of stuff and it's a pretty cool store. I found them to be a bit pricey, though, for what they have.

There's a YUGE Army Surplus store just off I-15 just before you get to Idaho Falls, ID. If you ever get up that way it's worth stopping in. They have a little bit of everything and, if you're like me, you could spend a few hours wandering around inside.

We had a Surplus City in Duncan back in the day. If they didn’t have it you didn’t need it.

They had new junky stuff in there, but they had real “surplus” stuff too. When I was a Sr in HS I bought a sure enough 100% wool Navy Pea Coat there for about 25 bucks. The earth has revolved around the sun many many times since I was able to wear it. The ex has it now. Probably the warmest coat I ever owned. I found one to replace it 20 years or so ago at a surplus store in N Tulsa in a sketchy part of town. It’s not real navy issue, but the tag says it’s 100% wool and it’s pretty warm, but not like that other one I wore when I had a flat belly.

I’ll be watching this thread for recommendations on a store with real surplus goods and not just junk. I could spend hours in that place when I was a kid. It was a really great place to spend a Saturday morning. It had a very distinct smell to it.
