There selection of their equipment is very broad and very interesting. They sell a fine selection of 5.11 products as well as very nice law enforcement equipment. I bought a g19c gen 3 here and they helped me with every step of the way. And they have some unique “arms” that you won’t find in other places locally
Drove 45 min one way after calling and asking for .32 ammo. Never did they say must bring mask. Tell us after entering must wear mask very rude like. Mask & Guns arnt legal, guess they missed that memo. They lost a couple hundred In business today and with their attitude will loose more in the future.... responding to your reply that says nothing about the disrespect.... No problem. Went to HARRY BECKWITH as soon as leaving your store. And bought way more than planned and other stuff bc they are definitely more reasonable priced. We arrived with approximately 40-50 vehicles in the lot and neighboring lot. Remind you still in Alachua County. Maybe 30-40% of people had on mask. Shoulder to shoulder packed with customers. Everyone smiling and happy to see each other. Treated like family.
Awesome stop with all your basic EDC gear plus more. Small gun selection with top name brands and they can also get what you need if you ask and are willing to wait. Easy in and out parking, always a pleasant experience to walk around.
Everytime I have been to this store it has always been great service and well stocked. I am sad to hear of their closing 2/26/21.
Enjoyed shopping there and purchased many things there including firearms. Now the mandatory mask policy is keeping me away. I really don’t care what alachua country has to say, they are destroying businesses here. I may shop here again but they have to stand up to alachua county as do many other businesses. Masks will not prevent covid. 85% of mask wearers contracted covid per the cdc. Why would you sabotage your business like that? It’s sad you fell into the scam.
About a week ago (Saturday 3/21/20) I went in to purchase a firearm for the very first time. They had a nice selection to choose from but I was very happy to discover that they had exactly the pistol I wanted at a reasonable price. Even though it was very busy at the store that day the staff was very friendly and did a great job answering my questions about the weapon and the background check / purchase process (I had a lot of questions as this was my first time buying a gun). I was very pleased with the service I received and I have already been recommending them to my friends. I will definitely be back!
Great prices and knowledgeable employees. Huge selection of new and used military gear m
Great Customer Service but all new items not like the older place the old place had new and used items for sale
Employee wasn’t wearing a mask when I walked in. Asked me to put a mask on. I left and won’t be back. I’ll give my business to Harry Beckwith because they respect my freedom!!!
Will not stand behind their products. I have shopped there for military stuff when I was in the military and then I was in law enforcement now Im EMS never again. I did have my receipt and it was never asked for. Also told because they are cheap boots should be expected. And once worn they wont take them back.
A little pricey but quality and good service.
Decided to stop in while in town on a family outing from Ocala. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the items stocked. Good brands and good prices. The prices were similar to prices online from the large retailers. Nice to help local business even if all I bought this time was a boonie hat. They had a nice selection of knives and firearms. Staff was friendly. Some stores like this that I have been to have limited stock and lower end brands. Will definitely be back.
This store has a good selection of firearms, pistol ammunition not so much. Their prices overall are high. Pistol ammunition prices are about 2-3 times what they were pre covid, I guess theyre charging what the market will bear.
Great place to purchase a huge variety of outdoor products, hunting gear and clothing. Bought a pair of womens hiking boots with the assistance of co-owner Olivia, who was wonderful. Excellent selection, customer service and prices!
Great store and employees 👍 they carry a good range of items at this location and are very knowledgeable employees.. only downfall about this store is they are a bit pricey! Feel a little overpriced on a lot of their inventory! Aside from that ..great store!!If they dont carry what you are looking for..they can possibly order it in for you or send you to where you can purchase that item.. Friendly and knowledgeable employees 👍👍 definitely will return here again and refer them.. prices vary depending on what you are looking for....so even though I say I think they are a little overpriced on some things..keep in mind you get what you pay for..as far as quality..some things I dont mind paying a little more for ..for that reason.. but not everything..
If youre active duty, or prior service, police or any law enforcement, or simply a survivalist this is the place. Goodness, I expect even some Boy Scouts would enjoy looking around. Looking for clothing, or clothing accessories--blousing bands, patches, bandannas, this is it. Guns, long or short barrel, knives, or holster, or sheath, or weapons accessories they have it. Survival equipment like tents, netting, blankets, emergency first aid items, they have it all.I found the staff very professional and straightforward and helpful. They can order a selection of things as well.
Knowledgeable staff, good variety of products and convenient location added up the a great shopping experience.
Bought a holster for my backup here, the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They seemed to have very competitive prices on their pistols as well as an impressive selection to choose from. Will definitely purchase from them again, they have lots of outdoors and camping items as well.
Great prices, great selection of merchandise, and super friendly and helpful associates
Great friendly and knowledgeable staff.beautifule selection and affordable gear.
Found hard to find ammo, really nice guys behind the counter. Other interesting items, unfortunately we were pressed for time, would have liked to look around more.
Great selection and price, friendly staff.
Great place to go if you need stuff for work good prices
Ive been 3x, they were excellent. As a new gun owner, they answered my questions, walked through my options, and discussed proper etiquette. All without any pressure to buy. If I decide to get a pistol, Ill be getting it from there.
Nice store well stock. Not very attentive when asking the employees questions about my purchase.
Very friendly and helpfull. Have everything you need from ammo to gloves. Easy to get to and plenty of parking. Great boot selection too.
Staff answered all of our questions. We were able to get everything we went in to purchase.
No used guns because of some lame city ordinance, but not a bad gun store.
Nice place with a good selection. The guys that were working the day I went in were helpful and attentive without being pushy. Their prices on firearms were pretty high and everything else seemed to be marked up quite a bit as well. That is my only complaint.
Army Surplus in Gainesville Florida it is an amazing place to shop great customer service and owners are the best.
Very nice people, super friendly and willing to help you find what you need. Some of the stuff they carry have same or even better price than online ( considering youll save shipping) and as business owner I find a great place to support local with very reasonable prices. Cant express how much I love My 511 Backpack...literally you can go places with it ;).
Staff was amazing, knowledgeable and willing to take the time with there customers. Very friendly atmosphere great pricing. Wide variety of items, I highly recommend this store to everyone.
I’ve been using M & C Army Surplus store off and on for about 10 years and I have to say I’ve always been impressed with the customer service there. It doesn’t matter who’s standing behind the register because they all have impeccable knowledge of there weapons and accessories in that store. There prices may be a bit high on some of the firearms but your gonna get what you pay for. I know without a doubt when I’m ready to purchase another firearm or maybe an accessory for my firearms this will always be the first place I go to. Thank you guys for doing your jobs well it is very much appreciated.S.T. OBrien
The staff was nice and knowledgeable about the guns and process to get one
Absolute terrible customer service! Ive worked in customer service for 5 years and know what it takes to treat your customers right and they clearly dont know. My first issue was with assistance finding an item when I first came to the store. The employee that was helping me just left after I asked him a question. The second issue I had was with returns. I had not used an item I bought a week before, it had the tags and everything, and I had gone into to return it. The first time I went in and showed the man the item and he said I needed a receipt, I understand someplaces work like this but it helps with customer loyalty if you dont. So found the recipe and came in a few days later with the receipt. I showed them the item in perfect condition with the receipt and once again they said they couldnt take it because all sales are final. What in the f*** is this s***?! If you want loyal customers you should probably not try to scam them with overcharged items and final sales. If anyone is looking to open another army supply store in this area youll probably take all of their business. Very disappointed.
I love this place and Clint and the other boy that was working there helped me out a lot definitely a place to go to
Very well organized store with a very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Very nice firearms selection as well as accessories and apparel.
Outstanding products and service. Knowledgeable Staff. Thanks Phil !
Great selection, great prices and an experienced and knowledgeable staff. They helped me find the ammo I needed and assisted me by making a recommendation for the best home defense shotgun for my situation.
I enjoy shopping here. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Overall a great shopping experience.
Im speaking specifically to pocket knives here. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff, A+ there. Where the owner fails is in trying to sell old discontinued stock at ridiculously marked up prices. Charging almost $120.00 dollars for a knife with inferior steel that originally sold in the $50.00 to $70.00 range until the materials were upgraded two years ago screams unethical to me. I wont be spending any money at this establishment any time soon. New edit. A representative from the store contacted me today in an effort to get me to retract my negative review. Im sorry to school you on knives but only quality knives go up in value. Not knives built with lesser materials. There is a reason that the knife in question was updated with better materials and build quality. Trying to sell an inferior product for the same price as the improved one is just totally unethical. Trying to hide that fact behind pseudo made up facts is laughable. I can post the stats of the knife in question. And the price difference. My review is now down to one star due too the actions taken by this business.
Absolutely Gainesville most hidden gem!!! Fabulous service, tremendous knowledge, locally owned and operated. Simply great people. They have what you need for outdoors, knives, firearms, and if they don’t they’ll find it for you!! You must go visit them.
Great customer service. The prices on boots were very reasonable!
Friendly staff really knows their merchandise. They give customers a lot of help, so you may have a wait if the shop is full. Good variety of popular weapons. Lots of accessories. Reasonable prices.
Alec was a very helpful and polite employee. He is very knowledgeable about the stores merchandise, and he was very patient with me while I asked questions about various merchandise. I would definitely recommend this store to anyone.
Great Staff. Huge variety. Love this place
Plenty of gear for your tactical needs. Ammo is a little high compared to other gun stores. Picked up a box of 7.62x39 for $14 same brand of ammo at a different store was only $9.89.
Good selection but prices are higher than most
Great shop. Went there to find a new knife. The gentleman who helped me was very knowledgeable about his products and recommended one to me which I ended up getting. Will return for future purchases.
Love this place and the people. They are always so nice and helpful. Especially the owner. Shes AMAZING!! Im a customer for life.....
Local gun store -- not a big box. Prices are decent, selection limited, but mostly good stuff. Support your local businesses!
The assortment of inventory was magnificent. When they didnt have the item that I needed, they were willing to special order it. The staff was friendly and did not rush me in any way.
Great selection of firearms and accessories, fair prices on ammo and apparel. located right on 13th, this place is packed with knowledgeable professionals and focuses on customer service and satisfaction. Highly recommend, 5 stars.
I have bought multiple weapons from this shop, excellent customer service. Very down to earth and ez to speak with. Thank you, will return again.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. Good selection of law enforcement needs.
This store special ordered a pair of work boots for me in size 10M (they only have W otherwise) and after I wore them one time at work and decided they werent quite a good enough fit, I was still able to return them and get a refund thanks to one of the friendly and helpful owners (Olivia). It was a wonderful display of great customer service and I would definitely return to this store and recommend it to anyone who needs some comfortable work boots or other supplies.
I love this place
Amazing inventory. Large selection of clothing, boots, backpacks, camping supplies, gun accessories.Not your fathers surplus store. Very neat and organized; helpful and friendly staff.Plenty of parking.
Awesome staff. Great selection and prices. Would like to have one near where I live.
They always have what u need. Prices sometimes are a bit high but u pay for the convenience. I always get my work boots from there because Im old fashioned and still like to try the on as opposed to buying off the internet.
M&C always take great care of me when I go. Their benchmade selection is awesome.
Good selection of guns and gear with great service
Has a decent selection of camping equipment. A must go if you need something immediately or if your your looking for general survival equipment.
Given that were in Gainesville, it is a great resource to have a local Army Surplus. The selection is decent, the staff are helpful, but the prices are often much higher than you would pay at a PX or online. They have a pretty good gun and knife section.
Lots of cool stuff. Great selection of 5.11 gear. Thumbs up.
Great selection and good customer service!
Had black Bud pants only 1 pair in my size thou and have to be hemmed up at bottom of pants.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Prices are competitive, and the inventory has some unique items that are hard to find elsewhere.
Another local business that weathered the big box invasion. Knowledgeable staff and women owned. Almost always have what we need & if they dont, they can order it.
I came here to look for a Gas Mask. Well, they were selling Israeli Civilian masks with Russian GP-5 filters. However, they had one packaged for $90! This is very expensive, as you can buy one in the original box for $22 online. Most of the other things looked okay though, eventually found an aluminum mess kit which was pretty cool. So Gas Masks=No but other things were alright.
Good selection, although surplus in the name is a bit misleading. Solid assortment of AR parts and accessories, as well as some harder to find ammo (they had 5.7x28mm last time I was in). Prices are on the high side, but on some items it ends up being a wash to buy locally and avoid shipping.
Ive visited and done business with M&C Army Surplus for several years. Each time, Ive left satisfied with unparalleled customer service, having learned something new. The crew they have is very knowledgeable and passionate about firearms and accessories, and if they dont know an answer to a question you have theyll make sure to find out. The owners are also very accommodating and will order whatever youre looking for, be it guns or gear, if they can source it. Their selection is great and they always have something new each time I visit. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a firearms and gear dealer with quality, personal service.
Great place for all your LEO needs, army surplus, and camping needs. Knives and guns
Great place, the guys there were very helpful in finding the things I needed.
Never had any issues, the people working there are knowledgeable and friendly.
Jas everything from armed forces to law enforcement
Nice selection of clothing, gear, boots, guns and ammo. clean, modern looking, good staff/prices
Excellent customer service
Phil is great! Very pleasant and knowledgeable.
Interesting place with lots of cool things.
Had exact boots I needed.
Great staff, answered all our questions and more. Would recommend them to everyone looking for military type items.
I didnt even get the gentalmens name. But long story short. Needed some shirts they only had 1 in my size with an hour and a half drive to the store by the time I got there, they would be closed. The gentalmen said he will hold it in the back until next day where I have enough time to make it there. Once I arrived he took his time out to go searching and found another shirt my size. Last two they had. Def. Worth the hour and a half drive there. He was great wish I could of for his name!
Love M&C. Get most of guns and needed work items here. I would say 98% of store items are new. Not a surplus store anymore like it use to be.
Lots of things and great prices. Staff was very helpful.
Great selection of firearms and camping equipment as well as full line of clothing . friendly staff.
They always and friendly and patient. Even through covid 19 restrictions
Large selection of firearms and a good assortment of military and police equipment.Unfortunately, prices are the highest in town for guns and ammo...
They have a large array of good stuff.
Outstanding service and great selection. Highly recommended!
Normally, Ive had great shopping experiences with M&C Surplus, having bought a couple of firearms from them. But this last trip, I have to say, was a complete disappointment. The staff didnt aknowledge me walking in, they didnt ask if I needed help as I looked around the store, they didnt talk to me at all as I checked out, only saying the total price when it was time to collect their cash, and they didnt give a thanks for shopping, have a nice day, or anything... Why? Because the Gator game was on the radio. The customer service in this place is lacking, big time. When a football game is more important that the customers satisfaction, then its time to shop somewhere else. Not satisfied at all, and the next time Im shopping for shooting gear or firearms, Ill consider going somewhere else.
Bought several magazines and mag extensions there. Pretty good selection and friendly staff. Will order anything they dont have for you.
I got just what i went there for. Ans the staff was very friendly and helpful.
Awesome... super friendly & knowledgeable staff!
Great place - very clean - great selection and the guys running it know their stuff.
Very polite and a great selection of pistols and rifles. A great selection of military items.
Great customer serviceAAA+++. Very knowledgeable and im very pleased with there prices and quality!!
Great place good selection including firearms and a great selection of tactical boots and the staff is fantastic.
