To: Kingstonians: Army Surplus & Adventure Outfitters = Good or bad?
Hey guys. My parents were in the Kingston area today (Where my brother was born.)
They saw a pretty big place called: "Army Surplus & Adventure Outfitters". They went inside and said the store sold airsoft guns, BBs, green gas, paintball guns, and military combat clothing. (and even real CF cadpat.) Have any of you ever been to this place? Are their guns good, or bad? I went to their website: www.surplusoutfitters.com Their clothing seems moderatly price. My parents got a really good quality olive drab backpack, from 1990. Its geat.

1. The airsoft guns they sell are shitty crossman type "soft air", don't waste your time.
2. The owner will sell to anyone, regardless of age. I've brought the concept of asking for ID and if he'd voluntarily adopt a 18+ policy" and he was not interested. 3. He's a war profiteer. When I was getting ready for deployment, I bought a set of SWAT boots from his store, paid $79.99. Long story short, a few people saw them and wanted a set, so I sent them his way. Two weeks later the price was $99.99, then $119.99 a week after that. His justification was "demand"; bullshit, he was taking advantage of the fact that a roto was getting ready to leave for overseas from Kingston, and jacking his prices up so he could gouge soldiers. I have since not given him any of my business. *PS: You appear to be a minor, just a heads up you may have a hard time finding a place to play/procure airsoft guns until you reach the age of 18.

Don't worry Im 18. Im in the process of meeting up with a Verifier.
The bag my parents bought me was like $50. Very expensive for a olive drab bag. I just cant tell them that. Also, I cant tell them that it doesnt blend with my Marpat uniform.

I was there a couple months back looking at what they had, and saw the SWAT and Magnum boots and considered picking up a pair at a later date. They were in the $100-$150 range. So yea. |

My apologies, it's just that you said "my parents" three times over two posts, I just assumed....
Anyway, get AV'd and you will get access to the 18+ classifieds here and there are loads of AEG's etc to purchase. For gear, Ft Drum is just across the border, great place to pick up cheap BDU's and gear at the surplus store (Bradley's). |

Unless your parents are airsofters then any airgun or softairgun might pass for an airsoft gun

I dealt with a guy who has joined the CF and picked up a new G&G MP5 from there and Its having feed problems outta the box. He went back looking for help and was sold two more mags. Funny that didn't fix his feed trouble. He's not interested in playing anymore as he's goten a sour taste for it. But for what he's paid for a G&G he'll be hard pressed to sell it with out taking a serious loss on it and it still has a feed problem.

I just want to say, WHAT THE HELL is with so many asshat surplus stores. I've heard this story about half of dozen times THIS YEAR. Have these people no love for what they do / sell?
Army Issue, you're not included in that rant

+1 to the criticisms above.
Though they do have a "Kingston Zombie Defence League" t-shirt in the window that makes me giggle when I walk by. |

Wow, this place has some bad rep.
I'm going to be taking a trip down there again to return the bag I got, as olive drab doesnt blend in with marpat too well. (I just hope this place honours their warranty.) If I see one of them dry firing, I'll make sure to be like "Hey, you know that damages the gearbox on the gun...."
