It might be a bit far away from you, but there's a great army surplus shop in Midleton, Co. Cork. Usually has tons of stuff in store and their prices are very competitive.

They usually have a good selection of flectarn and BA DPM, along with others.

Or you could try these guys in the UK: http://www.armynnavy.com/catalog/catalog/default.php?currency=EUR&cPath=245&sort=2a&page=1

I've bought stuff from them before and they're great to deal with. Prompt delivery and good sales service.

Really good one in the outlet centre in Kilarney! picked up loads last time i was down!

I think the Midleton one is owned by the same crowd who own the Killarney AFAIK.

The Midleton shop is a feckin' huge warehouse unit filled with all sorts of goodies, from work tools, tents, hats, outdoor gear, and army surplus boots, jackets, trousers, etc. along with the occasion metal ammo box, jerry cans, etc.

Well worth the visit if you're in the area.

There is a huge selection of stuff in Midleton, but the only good camo stuff is the British uniforms, the rest of the camo patterns are cheapo chinese knock offs. He does have have flektarn but he never has full length trousers in flektarn. He also has a lot of olive green Dutch and Austrian stuff.

For flecktarn try this crowd www.flecktarn.co.uk I've used them before with no probs.

You could also try www.fu-kit.com Haven't used them but they seem to have a good range of patterns and sizes.

not strictly shooting related but i got a trangia off this crowd for 12 euros- one of the best field stoves you can get.

whydave · 20-07-2011 11:31PM

Irish DF Uniform is Irish DF Property in Enlisted men.
Wearing it is breaking 2 laws for most,

1.Theft of Government property
2. Impersonating a member of the DF

It is a personal pet hate for me to see some yobbo wearing a Uniform many in this country take pride in, in an inappropriate fashion

Yes the store in Middleton is good but see the used gear at the back of the store.

If your in Waterford try TKMax for camo gear they have it in from time to time, its ski wear but still good.

Go outdoors on the quay. The airsoft centre on waterside does some surplus too.
