Anybody else remember the Military surplus stores that sprang up

Mom would not let me have a bayonet. I have no idea why?

 

A 9 year old boy with a bayonet. What could go wrong? :blink:

 

I'm guessing your mother probably liked you.

I remember the fuss when some 16 year old kid in Ogden, Utah bought a DEWAT submachine gun that wasn't DEWATted properly. Someone had pushed a 1" plug of lead down the barrel and called it good. Hadn't even ground the firing pin down.

I liked going to them as a kid and once saw a good condition WW1 helmet. I told my dad I wanted it, he scoffed said it was junk and walked away. I had to wait until I grew up, find one on Ebay and pay over $100 for it and it was around $20 as I recall back then.
