Been coming to this place since I was a teenager. I bring my teenager here now. I love this store. Its one the best for all things outdoors and related to armed forces. The prices are always great. Spread the word and support this small business.

Ever since this Explorer club I joined introduced this place to me, I was hooked! As I collect pins as well, I like to buy pins here, especially to give as awards, in the style of the real thing, for instance, how Spankie Valentine deserves a Purple Heart, hence I bought a Purple Heart pin here! And since I am a Captain of my own crüe, I bought a few Captains pins here as well! This was also where I bought a pin Apostle Ruth Andrada Sercado Hillary actually prayed for, of the American and Filipino flags joined together! As she wuz born in the Philippines, and is now an American citizen. They also got 2 know me at this store as well. 😊 Makes me feel like the old TV show Cheers.

M&I Surplus is a Treasure in its continued existence, but would you expect less from a Prepper supply destination!?! So glad to see the same friendly faces, always ready to answer questions pulling from lifetimes of experience passed down... so dont be shy. Everything you see in there is for sale but not everything they sell you can see, so ask.Camping,Uniforms,Tactical supplies,FlagsBootsLevisTweezers and dental picksRopeLuggageTapeAction SportsMilitary SurplusAnd more more more!Go visit. Support! Everyone finds something!Tell them BD sent you!Cheers!

Best Outdoor Enthusiast Store Around !I love this store -- theyve been a local staple since 1967. A military surplus, outdoor enthusiast store. Youll find knives, utility clothing and shoes, mountain climbing gear, other outdoor gear, sleeping bags etc., freeze dried food, and just about anything else you would need to be a survivalist! I highly recommend!!!

Although they have a Lot of items, they no longer carry the boots my husband had gotten there for years. I know why, but that doesnt help me as I definitely needed those. That is the only reason I only gave them 2 stars. :(

Review №65

Been going there since I was a boy, the employees know me and my family by sight. Always friendly and helpful, got my first pair of Smith and Wesson cuffs there.Their military surplus selection has yielded some rare gems to my collection, for people who do things like wasteland weekend this place is a must see.I always joked with the workers that there is always the biggest rush in the store after an earthquake or similar.This place is where I did a lot of my zombie apocalypse prepping. The current pandemic is anti-climatic at the moment. Still thanks to places like this when it started I didnt really need to leave my apartment for a month unless I wanted to or had some where I really needed to be in person.

I am in my late 40s now, and while growing up in Pomona in the 80s as a young boy playing army, this place was a staple for me and all my friends. I dont live in California anymore, but in all my travels I have yet to find a surplus store that comes close to M&I. I am happy to see they are still there, and I will put this place on the short list to visit when I come back someday. Thanks for the memories!!

They have some pretty cool stuff here but its over priced and a lot of there stuff is cheap knockoffs especially the newer stuff made in China. I picked up a compass that was around $24 and I said to myself why? Because I knew it was overpriced. Found the same one on amazon for under $10.
