Michael D.

After viewing their web site it looked like the perfect place for military surplus. The many pictures of merchandise appeared to show a nice variety of goods. It was a bit of a ride for me so I was disappointed to find out that they have "Rebranded" according to the nice lady who spoke to me. They sell and repair guns and what you see on line that looks like merchandise for sale is their personal collection. Fix your website so that it represents what you actually do and I am sure you will be the 5 star business that everyone says you are.

This is the custom build they helped me piece together. MDT Tac21 in 300M.

Ghost Army is a pretty cool museum to stop at if you're in the Virginia Beach area! We happened upon them during our roadtrip since my brother-in-law was looking for a shop that sold re-enactment gear/guns. I don't believe Ghost Army sells any of the uniforms or guns though. We actually meant to go to a shop that's two stores down, but it was nice walking around and seeing the history behind all of the old war gear and uniforms they have on display. The two men working at the shop were very friendly and explained the history behind a few of the artifacts they had on display. Definitely recommend visiting if you're into historic military memorabilia! They have a bunch of neat items to look at! read more

I chose this location as FFL pickup based on yelp reviews, and it did not disappoint. Very impressed with the shop. Family run, great friendly service. Transfer fee is only $20. No hassle , quick and painless. Service with a smile. Also has unique military memorabilia throughout the shop. One of the owners schooled me on there history of some of the Russian artifacts on the wall. Very impressed , will be back again. A++ read more

This store is amazing. Jeremy and Heather and the crew have always been A+ top notch people. They've downsized since I first started frequenting the shop, reducing their retail stock down and focusing more on services. But the services they offer are beyond fantastic. Need a firearm or something duracoat/cerakoted? They've got you. Need something dipped in the Ultrasonic cleaner? Bam. Done. Custom rigging, sewing, gear modifications or want to commission a morale patch or better yet; several? The sew shack has you covered. They also have qualified armorers and gunsmiths on staff and can handle anything you can throw at them. They can also do ATF transfers and class III/NFA items too. The museum up front featured displays using gear and uniforms that have seen service by friends and families members of the crew at Ghost Army and each piece has history behind it. They also have a pretty expansive selection of historical firearms or unique pieces for viewing (not for sale) on hand. There is usually always a military flick playing on the TV too. I highly recommend Ghost Army for all of your tactical and gear related needs. Jeremy and the gang are practically family to me. -Egon read more

SCAM! RUN! Ordered product and never received it. It's been over 6 months. After many requests for updates, finally requested order canceled. Response I got? "Done". Way to run a business, by the way! No refund received. Finally, after several more emails requesting refund, got a message stating "refund mailed in form of cash". Surprise, nothing received, nor a response for tracking number or even date mailed. Complaint filed with BBB, but I'm getting in line there with others they scam. Next step is small claims... Can't believe this place is still in business after reading all these reviews. read more

Bottom Line: This company is a scam. Do not order any of their gear on-line. I was deployed to Afghanistan in 2012 and ordered approximately $300 worth of gear from the Ghost Army Tactical website. I pateintly waited for two months but gear never appeared. I contacted "Jeremy", who said he had "sent the gear" but promised to resend without delay. Two months later and still no gear; however, this time Jeremy stated that some of the gear had just recently been delivered--but, still no gear. Finally with a month left on my deployment, I asked for a full refund. Jeremy said no problem; however, the refund never occurred and he even said he "sent a check" to my address but it never materialized. I've filed a complaint with VA BBB, but, shockingly, Jeremy didn't reply to the complaint I left. read more

History

Established in 2003.

Starting with a space in the garage in about 1999. Ghost Army started out of a need to fund the collecting of vintage military gear. The easiest way to do that? Buy more gear and sell it. Starting with the DRMO we began buying bulk lots of what was then considered modern equipment and refurbishing it. Straightening ALICE pack frames in 30 degree weather became the norm. From there it was one step after another, down the long and troublesome road. To a closet in the family warehouse, to its own small office front when the family warehouse went out of business. Gust 60 days to make something happen we made it. 10 Years ago since that day now at its current location. One foot in front of the other, that is how you get there!

I called to check on this in early November and was told there's nothing listed beside my name. But that it should almost be done. Today nine weeks later after I originally dropped it off I went into the shop to see how things were going. The owner proceeded to tell me that he really only likes to do simple stuff, but that he could call somebody to see if they'd be interested in doing this. Are you freaking kidding me? It would've taken two minutes to give me a phone call to tell me that you didn't want to do this anymore. Instead, I've gotta find out halfway through gun season that the project isn't even started?

I was ready to order a part from them until a close friend--who claimed to order before--stopped me and directly said: 'Don't do it. They are nothing but a headache. I had nothing but problems.'

That's when I noticed the math doesn't match the surface rating: only 3 five-star reviews are currently visible, yet over 150 reviews are buried in the 'removed/filtered' section at the bottom. I can't speak to the product itself since I didn't buy, but I can speak to my research: the gap between what's shown and what's hidden is massive. My only recommendation to others is to scroll all the way down, click that filtered review link, and read the unfiltered consensus before handing over your money. I will leave 4 's because their website is decently, organized, and informative.

I've done business with Ghost Army Tactical on a regular basis since 2010, both in person in the store and while deployed. My last deployment (14 months), I made several orders (via phone) and received my gear and equipment within a reasonable time frame. I know Jeremy regularly does custom modifications (plate carriers, ammo pouches, tactical pouches, etc) based on the customers desired layout. He's added an embroidery machine for custom patch design/production and other embroidery needs. The business has expanded (more than doubled in size and variety of equipment and vendors) in the last year with new gear and capabilities in the store. The showroom is setup similar to a museum with displays, coins, patches, models, etc. read more
