    Yeah, gunshop.

    Great guy, very knowledgeable and straight talking.

    Good selection of new and second hand, but may not have a Winmag

    He runs a grocery shop as well, so he may be open at the moment.

    Give him a ring, he wont put you wrong.

    Paul is very nice guy and good to deal with. I have bought a couple of firearms from him and even got him to import a custom 10/22 for me.
    Great selection of new and second hand firearms in stock as well as ammo.
    You could pick up a nice CZ .22lr there as well as other makes. :):)

    He should be open as he has a post office as well. An absolute gentleman to deal with.

    That's to have in your possession at any one time, so if you are a member of a range you could request 1000 .22 rounds on your application, the Super may grant you that amount or lower it. So if you get granted 1000 rounds you can buy up to 1000 at first, say you shoot 500 you can them buy 500 more , this would work the same for any firearm you own, you can have in your possession what it granted by the Gardaí for that firearm.

    Also keep in mind that every gun and it’s ammunition limit are an individual licence. For argument sake if you had two 12g shotguns licensed, one with a limit of 1000 rounds and one with a limit of 750 rounds you can have a total of 1750 12g shotgun cartridges in your possession at any given time.
