Hello, i'm aiming towards an Irish Defence Forces loadout, and i'm planning on purchasing the ASG Steyr Aug, from MIA. Any thoughts on the gun?, Ive heard both good and bad things from it.

Its an alright gun but since its a jg that means its a china clone and the shimming wont be great. For the price you pay its a good gun for starting off. As far as irish defense forces loadout gos its illegal to buy or sell irish dpm camo so your not going to be able to get that.
Hope this helps

Yes, I understand its illegal to wear the camo, going for the French CCE Camo, quite similar.

Hi man check out Slovenian or Slovakian camos they are very similar in pattern & colour to the Irish DPM, the Yugoslavian camo from the 90s is worth a look also

I guess this is quite similar to the Irish one, any thoughts?

thermo

its similar alright. but also worth considering.............

Defence Act, 1954

264.—(1) If any person (not being a member of the Defence Forces) wears, without permission granted by or on behalf of the Minister, any uniform of the Defence Forces or any colourable imitation thereof, such person shall be guilty of an offence under this section and shall be liable on summary conviction thereof to a fine not exceeding ten pounds or, at the discretion of the court, to imprisonment for any term not exceeding three months.

(2) Subsection (1) of this section shall not apply in respect of the wearing of any uniform of the Defence Forces or any colourable imitation thereof in the course of a stage play or other dramatic representation or performance.

(3) In this section the word “uniform” includes any distinctive part of a uniform.

As Thermo said above, creating an Irish military impression is not wise - if you're seen in it, you can argue that it's a different camouflage (and hey, you'd probably win) however as the saying goes:

"If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck..."

Now I doubt anyone would run into hassle, but you never know! Better to err on the side of caution

you could also consider going for an older look, (ie. od uniform, PLCE, styer AUG a1) it would look a bit Austrian too.........................
