Are there any Army Surplus store in the South East or Dublin? I'm looking for addresses of the stores please.

Yes know that shop it was good - they had the same surname as me but gone for about 7 years now.

Ahem,not really surprised if it is going by the lack of stock aquirement that some of these shops go to.Nowadays "surplus " seems to mean the cheapest cheeseist Chinese copy possible.
Or cheap tatty cammo designed for a rave rather than actually the field.
In fairness,I suppose with UN and EU controls on selling anything more lethal than a feather duster.It is getting harder to get surplus stock in anything.
But has it got soo daft that even the Chinese stuff doesnt fit us Western devils,or that "normal " sized people in NATO's armies seem to be around 5'11.With size 7 feet and small heads??
This is why I call these shops the shops of No !

Capel street is one of the better ones here in Ireland,followed by PRO Tac in the Curragh camp.After that well.... I just order it from the Net.Was a good one in Portlaoise,dont know if it is still there,had a nice selection of various bayonets.

Same here details please -- it's a day out for me to go there, packed lunch an all, but could be worth the trip. Could drop the misses off in Cork with the credit card.

ianoo

well belive it or not its called
the "army surplus store"
they have recently relocated from a warehouse to a new location more in midelton itself .they are in the same retail park as tesco so not that hard to find ,
if you are coming from waterford take the first exit after the "TRABOLGAN roundabout "keep an eye out the tesco signs and you are sorted ,
sorry i dont have an exact adress or phone no. ..maybe some of the local cork lads on here could help with that one

There's actually two very close togther. the larger one is or was called Eureka Army surplus . It's in the same park as Tesco, off to the left on your way in. Massive place, you can't miss it.

There's another much smaller one down Dwyer's road, which is the road opposite the road into the retail park tesco is in. I've not been there in a while but it used to have more martial arts stuff and a furniture section.

I went there on Sunday, dropped the misses into Cork city.
Good store with plenty to look at and got myself a long sleeve camo tee shirt €8 and gun belts, camo hat etc.........
but as always it was when I got home that I knew I should have got this and that as well.
I'll book myself to go down there again over the holidays.

I have this jacket and it a serious bit of kit, hard to believe for the price

wind rain and thorn resistant. I've been out for a few hours at a time in heavy rain with no problem. It's reasonably breathable and quiet and comfortable to wear.

Be careful of the new boots in the midleton shop - some of the gear is defective - 2 of us bought some matterhorn boots and we noticed that our hips were knackered after a few weeks hunting in them - being far from geriatrics we checked the boots out and one of each pair was missing the support around the heel. Strange how it affected the hips but we were grand once we binned them.
I also got a pair of the old model pro boots - great boot but the soles disintegrated after just over a week.

There's no problems with refunds there though and he nearly always gives a few quid off if you ask - so I keep going back. Never had a problem with anything else.
