Our Grading Process
Each item is inspected by our warehouse team. We remove damaged goods, test zippers/snaps, and sort into:
- New - (New w/ tags, New-in-bag, New old stock)
- Very Good - Minimal signs of use. These items may have slight wear or minor cosmetic imperfections, but overall, they are in excellent shape.
- Good - used but are still in good working condition. These items may show moderate signs of wear, such as fading, scuffs, or small repairs. Despite these cosmetic flaws, Good condition military surplus items are fully functional and offer reliable performance.
- Defect - Heavily used and may require some repairs or refurbishment. These items may have substantial wear, tear, fading, stains, and other cosmetic flaws.
Sustainability Matters
We divert over 50 tons of high-quality gear from the waste stream annually, supporting circular economy goals and giving your customers authentic, durable products with a story.

Let customers speak for us
Very sturdy with many years of use left.
Best spot I've been to. They never overcharge
I got the Improved Combat Shelter tent from Forest City Supply. It was marked as Very Good and was perfect (pretty much brand new). Product was in great shape and shipping was very very fast. I am incredibly pleased with my purchase and will definitely shop with them again. Customer service was also awesome. Very friendly and helpful.
As the Army and Marines are no longer issuing ponchos - they're very scarce - I jumped on the chance to get one and at a decent price! I'm not real familiar with GI ponchos but this one is in very good to excellent condition - no pin holes or ripped grommets and the seam tape is all intact. The material seems thin (I've seen thinner) but again - I'm not familiar with the USGI poncho. UCP isn't for everyone but I prefer it in my environment. This poncho passes inspection and is 'good to go'!
I have purchased quite a bit of gear from Forest City Supply - they are good people. They are fast from order to ship, they are personal if you have special needs and the descriptions of their products are accruate. 10 stars for FCS.
Bought one of the defective ones as a fixer upper, and to be honest.. It wasn't that bad! Some material was stuck together Alil bit of Water/vineager mix and cleaning helped the musty smell. Everything else was in tact! Going to be a great tent for the summer solo trips!
I can't say enough about this family owned business. Perfect example of Americans providing great gear for anyone who gets it! Thank you Forest City Supply family!
The holster is in Bitchin condition and the 5pc load carrier is also in great condition thanks. Will definitely be ordering more products.
Haven't used it yet, but being a old ass boy scout, it will come in handy someday. Thank you
