Action Military Surplus

I was in late Thursday, just before closing. I bought a used jumpsuit and a new pair of BDU pants. Both are perfect, and I know I’m going to enjoy wearing them. The pants, especially, are perfect. They fit as though they were made for me. Both are very comfortable.
I wanted to particularly thank Kyle Drummond, who made helpful suggestions, found the pants for me, and gave me advice on how to care for them. I didn’t get her name, but the lady working was also very helpful and friendly.
I want to explore the shop when I have more time. We were in the store just before closing, but neither Kyle nor the lady made us feel rushed.
There is so much to see! There are used and new garments, hats, footgear, belts, holsters and memorabilia, just for starters. The clothing is very reasonably priced, especially with what you’re getting for your dollar. know that what I bought will be serviceable and last a long time.
Thanks. We’ll be back!

Good selection and decent prices. I was able to pick up a camelback here but they were out of MREs due to the firefighter demand that was present at the time.

I just went over here to get some final touches to my Halloween costume and Nick was a big help pointing me in the direction I needed! I came in for patches for a Halloween costume I chose. The store is very neat and it has anything you may need for whatever special occasion but just don’t get caught up with stolen valor have a great Halloween everyone!

Went to this place the person who assisted us was very nice and very kind Mr. Dave so helpful! This place is highly recommend to all military service men and women. Thank you Mr. Dave!

Four stars for a good selection, although at pretty high prices. I stopped by because I think it’s the only Army-​Navy Surplus Store in the Sacramento region to pick up a new rank. Anyway, the gentleman at the counter was welcoming and friendly — and they had what I wanted. I looked around and most of the items were pretty high, for being used. One can get them online or at a base exchange for much cheaper but I appreciate that sometimes you don’t want to wait or don’t have access to a base.
In short, I’ll come back if I need something soon. Thanks!

The owner is very kind and helpful. This store has everything you could possibly imagine in the world of military surplus. I would definitely recommend

I needed a few items for my collection and what better place to get them than AMS. Their staff was extremely friendly and full of advise. I recommend anyone looking for anything to drop in.

Literally a surplus of old and new military gear and tactical equipment.
Over the last couple of years since getting out Active Duty Army, I’ve been here 3 – 4 times. Every time I’ve had a pleasant experience. Because of everything this place carries, you could literally be here for a couple of hours looking at everything.
There’s an abundance of new and used gear, a lot of old vets in the area after getting out of the military. Will sell any of their old gear here; I did the same as I had a lot of boots and old uniforms.
Here you’ll be able to get everything from battle to dress uniform, pt gear, outerwear and underwear, boots (new & used), tactical gear and supplies like rucksacks/​backpacks, 550/“para“cord, military flags, knives and tools, military patches and pins. And more recently they’ve even started selling airsoft supplies, like airsoft rifles and pellets.

These guys are cool, and sporadically have good prices on stuff. Don’t bother bringing anything here to sell, they will try to buy it for pennies on the dollar.

Great gear, fair staff and management.
I’m in the Guard and always come here for last minute IDT equipment shortages I come across.
Staff will let you try on gear and clothing. Staff will also let you trade in older TA-​50 and gear for other things as well.
Sometimes the old guy that owns the place pms’s like a little girl and I’ve seen this first hand. Really the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

My husband and I went to this store last weekend and were quickly disappointed. We like going to antique, thrift and pawn shops. We’ve been to a few army surplus stores and usually see some pretty interesting finds.
First, the store is very clean and organized, most of the products appear to be brand new but there is not much variety or historic things.
But what really turned me off is that they first said,“Is the something that we can help you find?” (With a very sarcastic tone) I said,“no thank were just looking”. They continued to stare at us as if we were going to steal something which made us both very uncomfortable. We didn’t feel wanted.
I like going into these stores not just to find interesting things but also because it reminds me of my uncle that passed away from brain cancer just a few years ago. He was a Vietnam Veteran with a Purple Heart who was stationed with his brother who died right in front of his brother. I am also a life time member of the Military of the Purple Heart and a member of the American Legion just to show my support.
The point is that standing behind the counter judging people is probably not the best way to make some money. I will never go back to this location again.

Great prices and great selection. Had some Swiss stoves and wind screens which are rare to see. I had to buy one for our clampouts. ECV.

Ive always been a big fan of the old Army /​Navy Surplus stores when I can find one, there arent very many surplus stores around these days, they have the basic items like camo clothing, web gear, mess kits, shovels, boots, camping supplies
but not much collectables, mostly common stuff and euro surplus, rations, ammo cans, etc.
you wont find any rare highly collectable militaria here, if they had any they would put it on ebay.

Just went here for the first time, because I needed some stuff for my security job. They had everything I needed and more. The employees are super helpful and just awesome people. Great place for all your military needs. HIGHLY recommended. Will definitely be back.

Went with my husband to get some last minuet stuff before he deployed and was ignored the whole time. Even while standing at the counter asking if they had some stuff in stock the guy continued to talk to the other guy behind the counter, to the point we considered walking out.

Absolutely amazing store! So much variety of all branches, old and new! I’ve been to a few surplus’ over the last 8 years and this is the best store I’ve found

Great customer service my very first visit. Not so great the second time…

Always a great shopping here, helpful staff, lots of things to look at and buy. I usually get my winter cold hear for work here. If it’s good enough for the military them it’s by far good enough for me.
To the great staff keep it up, and thanks for all your help, hard work, and service!

I stopped by this place not expecting too much but was very impressed with their stock and selection as well as the service. A clerk named Michael was very informative and attentive, he made sure I was taken care of. I felt like I was in a small town neighborhood shop. There was an item that I was in search of and they did not have it in stock, however, Michael informed me that they would get it and he went on line and tracked it down. THAT’S SERVICE!
He informed me of the Classic Car Show they have on Friday nights and so I showed up with some friends. Michael remembered me and told me about some related items I was searching for. You can’t find support like that anywhere else. There are pre owned items that were priced perfectly! This place is a treasure!!!

We tried out Action Military Surplus because I keep hearing you can find good deals on camping gear at stores like this. So we went here for Burning Man gear: tents, shade stuff, sleeping bags, googles, camelpaks, etc. But they must know there’s a demand for this stuff, because the prices didn’t seem any lower than they’d be at a REI. Too bad…
I *did* like the clothing and random military items (patches, pins, decals… I’ve got an Air Force family so I’m a nerd for that kind of stuff). They also sell used construction apparel at good prices; I bought a neon yellow vest and a reflective belt for when I’m jogging at night.
