The Bunker

The Bunker Moore country’s only veteran owned surplus store, The Bunker, has moved! At the Bunker we buy and sell US and foreign military items used from WWI to present.

The Bunker is Moore County's only veteran owned military surplus & Militaria collectibles shop servicing Aberdeen, Carthage, Cameron, Vass, West End, Southern Pines, Pine Bluff, Whispering Pines, 7 Lakes, Robbins, and Pinehurst. For the past five and a half years Tom Flores operated his army surplus and historical military collectibles shop out of the former 1920s Esso gas station on Poplar St. In

January 2021, The Bunker moved into Aberdeen's historic district, at 119 N Sycamore Street. The new facility is 8 times the size of the original Bunker location but you will still find the same Great deals and amazing Militaria and it’s all conveniently displayed for your shopping pleasure. We have a little bit of everything and if we don't have what you're looking for let us know and I will see if we can get it in stock. Our aim is to carry a variety of items sought after by people not just in Aberdeen, Southern Pines, Pinehurst, but throughout the Sandhills area. In stock items include new or pre-owned field gear (i.e. ammo pouches, medical and first aid pouches, butt packs, pistol belts, LBE, LBV, LCE, FLC items, canteens, etools, and more), shelter halves and tents, ALICE and MOLLE ruck sacks and packs, camouflage uniforms (ie BDUs, ACUs, DCUs, and Multicam), helmets, boonies, hats, berets, leather and desert boots, badge and patch insignia, inert ordnance, bayonets, maps and documents, wooden ammunition crates, footlockers, field desks, ammo cans, cold and wet weather jackets, cots, tents, and much, much more. We recently added demilled and non functioning ordnance and crew served training aids, as well as historical displays. We also list items online, selling collectible militaria through eBay under the username, "thebunker_in_aberdeen_nc". Selling locally, and through the internet, enables our inventory to constantly turn over; resulting in new and different stock items. Looking to trade an item for something you can use? Give us a call or come on in we buy, sell, or trade.

Attention reenactors! I have the perfect cot for you. This is an original WW2 wood cot but it was void of the canvas so I added a commercial cotton replacement. However, if you’re look for a cot to add your At The Front reproduction cot cover this is your chance. Priced to move.

NOTE: the commercial
Cover is slightly too small for the this cot so the end poles have to go below the horizontals and not into the drilled holes or the cot will bow (see pics)

These samples will be in the store for people to examine.
