Anyone know of any mil. surplus places that may have some of those magnesium S-shoes? Our local guy doesnt have any. Thanks

I've purchased from these guys without any problems. Their private label stuff isn't the best, but this is a military item and not a Guide Gear product, sound exactly like what you asked about.

I have several pair of surplus military snowshoes and like them as well as any others I have tried. The newer magnesium models are maybe not as nice to walk in all day as the long WWII style, but they work very well indeed. I think Mr. OB is referring to Pineview Surplus just north of Frederic on Old 27, which is the only surplus store between Grayling and Gaylord that I know of. Don't know if they currently have snowshoes in stock, but you could call them to find out - their number is: nine,eight,nine-three,four,eight-eight,three,zero,zero - ask for Dan or Chris, they're very nice folks to deal with.

Just go west at 612 into Frederic, then turn north on Old 27 and follow it just north of the village about a 1/4 mile, you can't miss it on the right, a little motel and surplus store. They have military tents out front right now and a few surplus military vehicles in the drive.
