look in the stickys for the irish retailers and check out their stuff., thats the best advice to give really, it all depends on what your (or nephew) into.,

budget would be anything from 70 euros to 140 euros.

I'd just like to ask also, what age is your nephew?

Airsoft guns are not toys, they should only be used by responsible adults and anyone under the age of 18 should be very well supervised in using one.

Other than that, with a budget of 70-140 check out some of the "clone" brands such as Cyma, JG and DBoys, these are the best of the cheaper makes.

You cant go wrong with a JG G36C. €130.

Tony that runs Eirsoft.ie is your best bet for getting one but I doubt he'd be able to get you one before Friday sweet talking him into coming to hrta Saturday is your best bet

Anything I have in stock that's ordered before 5PM on Tuesday will ship Wednesday morning, which is the last day An Post will guarantee a pre-Christmas delivery.

Having said that, I only have 3 of them left, and they're pre-ordered

A DBoys M4 is your best bet, but there's no M4A1's left.

Masada

just a thought, you say hes into airsoft already, you might want to be careful you dont buy him something he already has.,?

The JG G36c would be my first choice surprise surprise. But if there are none available consider the classic army M4 sportsline. MIA and Eirsoft might have some.

bassy

hello i would take that Dboys M4 CQB SD if it can be delivered before next friday?

If you order it tonight or tomorrow, I'll post it Monday morning.
You should have it by Wednesday or Thursday latest, even taking into account the Christmas post rush.

vtec i already checked with his mum,so i,m safe enough on that score;)

The Excel BBs will follow separately...I wont have those until Tuesday, so it'll be Wednesday before I ship them. It might be Christmas Eve before you get those, but possibly Saturday or Sunday, presuming An Post will be delivering at the weekend, as they normally do just before Christmas.

I just noticed...you used a Yahoo address.

Yahoo doesnt play nice with Eirsoft for some reason. I've emailed a few support addresses at Yahoo a few times, but had no response. Email from Eirsoft to Yahoo either disappears into a black hole, or gets consigned to a spam quarantine folder.

Theres a notice on the front page of the site mentioning its not a good idea to use a Yahoo address to sign up with.

bassy

i,m registered on your site tony with a hotmail address,but i sent you payment via paypal from my mums yahoo email.

bassy

ok tony.

Ahh, ok...in that case you'll get the shipping notification tomorrow, along with the tracking number. Hotmail is fine. Its just Yahoo seems to have this problem.
