Average service, okay value (you'll usually pay market price) Decent but random selection of stuff, it's like thrifting. 8 times out of 10 you'll see the regular inventory of Chinese made Rothco or SGS garbage but the other 2 times you'll find some really cool surplus. Good spot if you're feeling lucky read more

Great staff. Really clean and well organized. Nice selection, did I say well organized....!?? read more

I went here for some safety shoes/boots for a theatre class. All the other stores I tried did not have black steel toed shoes with the little green safety approved triangle in a women's 7/ men's 5 for under $130. I got a nice used pair here for 23 bucks - and they fit! I didn't have a lot of time to browse through all the cool stuff in this shop, but the sales person was helpful when I told him what I needed to find. I think I'll definitely visit this place again to browse more thoroughly. read more

This place is as surprisingly weird as it is eclectically diverse and decrepit. I wandered in to find a sign telling me that my bag must be left at the counter. I obliged and carried on with my attentive sussing. Metal shelves buckle with the weight of boxes upon boxes of fireworks, while piles of grimy used wares are scattered throughout the store's main floor. The gun cage was a strange discovery, with a man dressed in army garb cleaning slash doing something with a gun. I kept on my mission (browsing and being flabbergasted) discovering bed sheets, mattress covers and piles of VHS and cassette tapes. The fireworks display was the most titillating, with one baby called the "Extravaganza" weighing in a $45 claiming to project 100 shots! I want! When my delight finally turned to boredom, I ventured to pick up my bag and hit the road. I was pleasantly surprised by the varying wares and the gun/firework/bedding merchandise all being sold under one roof. I definitely know where I'll be going to pick up my next plethora of fireworks... read more

Great place for anyone needing to pick up gear in the navy that doesn't want to pay a small fortune. Pretty cheap stuff and military discounts! read more

Ron's Army Navy is where you go when looking for Army uniforms etc,(knock offs of course). They have a variety of things, ropes, lunch kits, air-soft guns, hunting supplies. I do not frequent this store a lot, but when I did , it had what we were looking for. read more

Good variety, fair prices. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful, and they always have what I'm looking for.

I was on the hunt for a gift for a friend of mine at work, what I wanted to get him was a small pocket knife. So the mission was on, off I go. So I am going everywhere trying to find the perfect pocket knife. Walmart, fishing tackle shop, Canadian Tire. So as I am driving down Agricola Street and I look up and see The Navy Store and decided to go in and see what they had. Well they have everything but the kitchen sink and I think if I look hard enough I might find something that I can use. Well I am telling you they have everything there for hunting, fishing, camping you could be in there for days as survive. Going through the isles looking at all the stock they had and all the camouflage gear some of this stuff is really neat. Finally I came across the knives in the case at the front and I am studying the case and see the perfect pocket knife for my worker. Well I am looking for the range of $30 to $40 when he pulled it out and I was looking and said how much. Well when he said $85.00 I said ahhhh no thanks a little pricey for me. And went and purchased something else for him. read more

The Army Navy Store has tons of things to offer almost anyone. From boots to bags to chairs to firearms to fireworks. Camping and fishing gear .. EVERYTHING. A huge selection where prices are ok. So why only 2 stars? My bf and one of his friends spend way to much money at this place, they are air soft junkies (you know, they enjoy shooting each other with pellet like.. things.) and are in there at least every 2 weeks for supplies. This isn't a big deal, and it's a decent hobby I suppose. The last 2 times (and only times) I have ventured in with them the staff well.. sucked. Inattentive, unfriendly and extremely rude. They are not interested in what you're looking for, and when you ask to see something from behind the counter they hand it over and leave you standing there.. What is behind the counter? Only guns (air soft, paintball...but still) and knives..Helllo? Also, the people who are interested in purchasing these behind the counter items are looking at spending BIG bucks, so how about a little information about the gadget. Ok, so that was a rant, and I apologize. read more

Any time I need something stylishly utilitarian (my personal style) I head to the Army navy. I have a dozen field caps from this place, and a rare one featuring the Red Star. True, some weirdos hiss at me when I wear it, but I get interest in the hat, because it could be North Korean, or Soviet. Either way, cool huh? They carry the best belts Everrrrr. I have worn army boots since I was a kid, and still do today. Fifty bucks gets you a damn good pair of boots. The satchels and book bags are a particular favorite, I have one in every color, and one that is close to 20 years old! Its near to me, the staff are cool people (tie dye girl :P ) I never walk out of there without a hat or even a scarf. It's where it's at. read more

There's something about this place that makes me feel like a kid in a candy store. Sure, it's a musty, messy, cluttered old candy store, but a candy store nonetheless. What I love about it is that you might stop in, looking for something predictable - say, an old army-issue raincoat - but you'll soon discover that the place is packed with all sorts of weird treasures - like flashing rooftop car lights (illegal, but hey, cool!) gardening tools, dishes, painting supplies, crazy headlamps, work gloves, winter hats - and weapons out the ying-yang. Cheap dishcloths and candles. Oh, and there's all the army surplus stuff, too - jackets, boots, coats, hats. Old desks and filing cabinets. And rope as thick as your arm! And the prices are fantastic. This place is like a dollar-store on steroids. read more

Halifax Army Navy Store - poster for Army Navy store - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

One day I was walking down the street and I thought to myself, "man I would love to buy some camouflage, a shovel, paint ball gun, some mini lasers and painting supplies. Luckily I found the Army Navy Store. Because all of my needs were met! This is one strange store. I have come on many occasions for various reasons and was always satisfied whether I bought something or not. I was satisfied simply because I had such a strange experience that I left shaking my head and smiling. I work in the film and television industry. Most of the time I am an Actor but I am also a Director and a Producer. I was working on one film where we needed to buy several Petticoats for a "turn of the century" scene I was shooting. Thanks to the Army Navy Store, we got exactly what we wanted for all six actors playing sailors. From time-to-time they will even cut you a deal if you are buying a lot of one item. This might be a strange suggestion, but avoid the washroom if you get scared easily. It is on the second floor and gave me the impression I just walked into an abandoned part of the store. There was miscellaneous items lying around like half used paint cans and parts of walls leaning against walls etc...Once again, another reason why I shake my head, smile and remind myself that this store is unique. If you need used army supplies, this really is the best store in the city for you. If you want to have a laugh and walk through a very random, strange store, this place is also for you. The staff are friendly enough and knowledgeable. So within the category of Army Navy Store's, of which there are a limited few in Halifax, this place being the largest and with the best supply definitely deserves four stars. read more

Ron's Army Navy Store is like thrift shopping on crack. There are rows and rows and shelves and shelves full of anything you could possibly imagine. Although it's called an Army Navy store, you can find all sorts of great discoveries here. It's definitely camping heaven, as there is incredible deals to be found, from camping cookware to tents to canoes - you're only limited by the size of your trunk (or trailer, if you thought ahead). My ex-husband loved this store. He could spend hours in it, similar to me at a shoe store. We never left without some kind of nifty contraption that we didn't know we needed prior to stepping inside the store. Particularly good values are the lifejackets (when you can find them) and the aforementioned tents. When you go to Ron's, make sure you wear comfortable shoes; you'll be wandering the aisles for a while! .... .... read more

This place is great. Lots of affordable useful items. I always grab some winter gear there, like toques and gloves. There are also an amazing variety of bags. Interesting fact, there are over a dozen artist studios upstairs that the owner rents out. I think this is an asset to the art community. Thanks army navy. read more

It has been a while since I have been in so I dropped in today. To be honest I was always kind of disappointed going to this place compared to ones I have been too in the USA. Well I was pleasantly surprised as the have changed the store around and have a lot more merchandise. Great military surplus and new stuff for backpacking, hiking, paintball . Great stuff read more

This place is great and the staff here are incredible. I wanted to place a special order and these guys really came through. The items were not normally stocked but they ordered them in, no fuss and the price was better than I could find anywhere else. I'm very pleased and I can't say enough about the friendly staff. Thanks again guys. read more

The stuff is great, the staff is rude. I spent several thousand dollars there over the course of a few weeks and was still treated as if I were a second class citizen. I shop for a living and spend great quantities of other peoples money. I will never shop there again. read more

This is one of the best army navy stores I have been to. It has a very wide variety of things like, camouflage clothing, gas masks, army helmets, hunting knives of various sorts, boots, tents for hunting, and even paint ! One of the things that most amazed me was there wide collection of airsoft guns. I am a very big fan of airsoft and this store supports my hobby in every way. They have the widest variety of guns in Canada that appeal to me because of their realism. This is way better than spending money for airsoft guns at Wal-Mart or Canadian Tire by far. The staff is excellent, they may not be the friendliest but hey, they're funny and they know what they're talking about when it comes to army/navy accessories and airsoft guns. This is a very good place to check out on your free time, you will not be disappointed. This is my favorite place to shop in Halifax and I would go there every day if I could. Rock on Ron's Army Navy Store !!! read more

A hole in the wall to say the least. For the prices their asking and the interactions they give I'd rather use classified's for a random stranger for the same item than them. Spent five minutes looking around trying to make eye contact with the person working who couldn't get off their phone. Asked about some specs on an airsoft gun and they knew nothing and couldn't give a care in the world to use the phone still on the counter to look it up. I'm hoping this is a one time experience, but for now I'm staying away from here. read more

Iam NOT a happy camper...Had two riffles on order , new, Was told at first when I was paying out my 1,700 dollars it may take upwards of two to three weeks. After the first 4 weeks went by and no calls made to me I called them and was told may take another couple of weeks. end trail was after waiting just over three months was then told it might take another couple of months cause the guns were on back order from the supplier ,so I gave up and went in for a return of my money.I went to another place in HRM and within 10 mins was told the supplier did have these riffles and may I add the SAME supplier, I then waited 8 days and guess what I had sitting in the new place I went to guess guess. So what the heck is up with the BS that I was getting. real bad service and will NEVER step foot in that store again as in the army/navy store read more

My experience in this store was awful, the merchandise is surprisingly good and prices are fair. The problem is the staff usually unfriendly, rude and when dealing with air soft markers go out of their way to treat adults like children. And good luck with repair work, items usually get lost or when you finally pick up you item it tends to be no better than before it went in. fix the staff situation and this store might actually be worthwile to visit. read more
