General Jim's Surplus — Local services in Grant Township

Well, the actual military surplus items were as expected, yet higher priced than necessary. Other than that, most everything was made in China or similar. I checked every hat I saw in the entire store; didn't find even one made in USA! The rope, including parachute cord, was the one exception I found that was made in the USA. Be aware though that the carabiner, D-rings, etc. next to the shelves of rope were all inferior products/made in China. Look further away to the right on the back wall at eye level for a few quality/worthy climbing and rappelling accessories in a locked case.

One more warning: shelved with the otherwise all USA made ropes, there is a boxed item claiming to be a kit with a grapple hook and rope worthy of climbing inside that appears to be a cheap foreign third rate product although I could not find where it was made - I certainly wouldn't trust it...

“The best of the best of the best sir!” General Jim's is easily the best military surplus store in all of Michigan, and I should know because I've made it a goal to go to almost all of them. Their selection is HUGE, their store is clean and organized, their inventory rotates reasonably fast for a surplus store, prices range from bad to good depending on what you're looking for. They have everything from civilian uniforms to military issued, modern tactical gear, tents, containers, climbing gear, boots, happysuits, foreign military stuff, backpacks, body armor, and to top it all off their building is conjoined with Jay's Sporting Goods. They host military vehicle gatherings and are actively involved with the collecting community. I always leave with a bag or more of stuff. A MUST SEE every-time...

My father went up here a few days ago and found an M37 he was interested in buying. Talked to the owner about buying it. Set up a date, today to get a test drive and purchase said vehicle. The owner took it over this past weekend to make some repairs. Through the weekend the owner sold said vehicle to someone else without a care in the world to my father to see if he was still interested in purchasing it. My father was prepared to buy this vehicle. Called up the owner the day he was to test drive it and found it was sold out under him on a whim over the weekend. My father won't be buying from this place again or at least second guess on if he's going to. What kind of business man does...
