new shop ???

GlockMonkey

just wondering if anyone seen this place www.strikearms.com the site says their registerd and based in ireland .
they are advertising airsoft aegs as "imitaiton arms" is this not a bad thing to be calling airsoft aegs ? everything is high priced and i noticed one rifle that is way to powerfull for us to buy here .
has anyone got anything from them ?

Puding

never heared of them before, there priceing on some things is well interesting

Crave

€549.99 for a ak!:eek: They won't sell anything at that price!

NakedDex

In fairness though, it's a Real Sword. The Rolls Royce of AK's.

They have an interesting selection as regards manufacturers. TM, Star, ICS and Real Sword almost exclusively for rifles (though there is one CA in there). KJW for pistols (one STTi). A Tanaka L96, a gas version at that (one wonders about that one).

This bit is interesting though. If you're purchasing with a credit card not in your name, these are the ID's they accept.

An email containing a jpeg file of your passport, drivers licence or I.A.A. membership would be acceptable in such an event.

I wonder have they applied for affiliation so?

Apart from the odd rather over-the-top price, it seems ok. They actually have the Claymore I've been after too.

From what I've just seen their prices are a bit off the wall. Prime example a TM G36c €366.99 as opposed to airsofteire who are at €289.99:eek:.

Competition is vital within any business but I think the owners might have missed a trick here!

iceage

WOW!! this doesn't smell right, or is it just me?

Rhinocharge

I've been waiting for these guys to surface for a while now.
I'd say the prices you see are just there to prevent anyone actually purchasing until their ready. Just enough to put you off.

iceage

Do tell Rhino, whats the story mate?

zero19

Maybe it's because it's a new place that the prices are.... Well to put it eloquently, retarded

StevieGriff

I've always wanted a sockless shotgun........
EDIT: never mind I cant post links........

Chuck the Buck

Hmmm... definitely interesting. Any idea who they are?

Rhino if they didn't want anyone buying then why have the site up or why not just remove the option to buy stuff?

Rhinocharge

Maybe they are testing their cart system.

If I said no would you still believe me?

At those prices, I'd need my head examined.
Anyway, Meath is a bit of a drive from Wexford.

iceage

Rhino doesn't charge ridiculous prices like those...Anybody mentioned this crowd to the Mods?

And a suggested link to the IAA.......hmmmm interesting.

Kristov

there are some serious prices on that site .. an A&K 249 380 euro is a wee bit much for one off those their only 300 anywhere else ..then theres shipping or is that included .

Shipping seems a flat €10 for up to 30kg in Ireland and €12 for NI. But even at that it seems a bit steep if the rest of the shipping is included in the price of whatever you buy.

Pricing was a bit confusing alright.

Along with a few products they sell that afaik, they arnt legally allowed too.

Such as?

bullets

Shop seems to have covered a good bit of stuff.
Little pricey at the moment and it has nothing much of interest to me,
apart from the grenade just for a display piece.

Some of the things Like the L1A1 I would have probably paid the same amount
of not more for when buying. I paid 550 Euro for mine from Eirsoft and strike
are only 19.99 more in price which is not too bad.
(I think mine had a spring downgrade before importation though)

The pistols all seem to be priced ok.

AEG's a little on the high side.

Have not seen any spare magazines on sale on the site though!
Downfall of nearly every airsoft shop in Ireland, rarely have a good selection.

To say the prices are a bit steep is an understatement....................the shops stocking nothing but higher end gear (which is always nice) but they'ld wanna get some of the cheaper stuff in. Those kinds of price's will scare away a lot of potential new players.

Rob2593

haha there never gona sell anything for that price..

Hi All,
This is straight from the horses mouth, thanks for all the really good constructive criticism and its being taken on board. Not the welcome I was hoping but then we did just jump right in.
Best thing to do is let everybody take a look while I go about reveiwing some of my pricing etc.
I.A.A. affiliation has already been sought just this week and they advised us not to let any hot AEG's go out and we wont,these would be reserved untill downgrades are completed. We have mostly high end gear in stock and it does tend to be costly but we'll do a reveiw. Stock was purchased long before current recession and its taken a long time to get this far but we do promise a wide range of good quality clones over the coming months.
Thanks again and take a look,

i would avoid using the term "imitation arms" it doesn't look good for the sport

kalkor
