Have to go to Granby for work. Will have a car. Based on limited web searching, it seems like a resort/ski area with not a lot going on in the summer.
Are there any gunshops/militaria/Army-Navy surplus/knife/outdoors stores around? I'm also into airguns but doubt there would be an airgun store around. Aside from that, anything interesting going on in that area? Thanks! |

I'm not familiar with that area at all..but depending on the free time you have..there is an excellent war museum and aviation museum in Ottawa.
Mont Royal in Montreal may be interesting. As for gun shops,etc..I have no idea. If you are a member of gunnutz maybe post over there. |

I'm on a project about an hour and a half or so north east of that, I haven't really seen anything like that anywhere around here, but I haven't spent much time in granby.
Depending on how long you'll but up here I'd check out Quebec City, it's a little drive for you but I like it better than Montreal. |

There really isn't anything around Granby in that category. Some shops in Montreal, but meh. There's a collector in Sherbrooke that has old military stuff but he closes at noon.
On another note, unless you have to, don't stay in Granby. Stay in downtown Montreal and drive to work. I do Airbnb and always rent a condo downtown. Cheaper than a hotel and normally a lot nicer. |

All I found on Google was the following which looks like a small store that has paintball stuff: Quartier Maître Enr Army & navy surplus shop in Sherbrooke, Québec Address: 1578 Rue King O, Sherbrooke, QC J1J 2C3, Canada |

I have to go to Chartierville in November, so I may work it into my schedule. |

It's all in what you're into. I'd recommend going to Old Montreal and walking around, but good luck on parking. There's a few parking lots around, but be careful that it's not one that stacks cars on top of each other or park down at the Science Museum for 25$. Today starts the NHL pre-season, so catch a game. |

I forgot, but there's a place, I think it's in Brome, that sells some surplus. It's more of a hardware/tack store that has a couple isles of surplus. If I can find it online I'll post up some info.
ETA: I was wrong, it's in Dunham. It's called "PRO Quincaillerie J.P. & F. Larochelle". It's a good little drive from Granby for what it is and where it is. |

If you work a day type shift, traffic won't be bad. If you work a night type shift, I'd avoid like the plague. |

if you are in Montreal, CRAFM is a good gun shop.

| I finally went into P&S. Nice little shop is you’re into WWII and earlier military items. The older gentlemen that runs the place is a really nice guy. If you’re into hockey, I believe he is kin (son?) to Gerry Plamondon. |
