    I'd suspect it was misidentified by customs as being related to night vision or similar.

    A few emails and a screenshot of the product listing to customs should clear that up.

    Never forget, the end goal is zero firearms of any type.

    Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 - Firearms banned & grandfathered

    Also add a reference about the recent court case about importing gun parts and the like.

    Yeah, probably to do with the title of the Ebay advert given the info in posts below ⬇️

    I think it could have had laser mount and possibly night vision in the advert heading. I just went and got ripped off by an Irish supplier instead.

    We are so backwards here! ☹️

    As posted on another thread but with simmilar topic here.

    Have fun contacting them tho.They are the most Kafkaesque and user unfriendly operation to get hold of when you need them,next to An Post.

    Phone numbers that don't recive incoming calls[ ZV plate vechicle registration Rosslare].Emails that end up in dead email accounts[Athlone] Roving switchboard,so that means if you ring their main switchboard,you could be connected to someone in Foynes,Co Limerick when your problem is in Dublin airport.Ring them back 5 mins later and you are talking to someone in Rosslare!

    I had a run of them last year importing a rifle from France,and the majority of this stems from Customs officals being not Aufe with the firearms laws,and being put in a position by the Courier companies or An Post to deal with"suspicious packages of possible contraband or import duties due".Compounded now of course with Brexit and it being firearms related.

    They had already sent the mount back to the seller, email I got was just a courtesy I guess.

    I may have been tempted to overthrow the government had I got my hands on (another) two pieces of plastic and a nut and bolt 😄

    Dont know whether to feel sad or embarrassed for the genuine aGS who have to carry firearms in their course of their duties,and are being literally F..$5D over by their superiors with nonsense like this,like not even having the decency to aquire proper holsters for their side arms and some bright spark,or someone on the sly went off to some Fukstick whom someone knew,might literally cobble up a few aul holsters and make a good few quid on it too Be grand!

    Now an officer is dead courtsey of known faulty issued police equipment,not to mind,FIK literally NO weapons retention training!Be a massive lawsuit by the next-of-kin were this a US Police Dept.But here it will be the usual Govt response,Deny,Delay,Destroy and deep pocket the whistleblower out of their claim and job.
