a few things i dont like about the article above is the reference to "weapon" to the average joe thats going to make them think of dangereous, the second is the use of the word "Pellet2 that brings to mind the image of a small steel/lead ball bearing instead of teh plastic BBs we all use, but also:

Gardai are concerned about the guns, which they find regularly and seize during raids on the homes suspected criminals. A high proportion of weapons seized are sent for ballistic analysis each year.

gardai are concerned about AEGs/RIFs? or about real firearms found when raiding the homes of suspected criminals?

I think licensing retailers is a good thing IMO, in my neighbourhood the street is littered with yellow BBs most probably picked up for a few € at a market or in the likes of those two shops on Talbot street in dublin (one is a sweet shop). parents with no clue buy then for little jimmy and jimmy and his mate then go shooting the neighbours cat. at least if retailers are regulated it might reduce this. but would it be a case that the likes of the two locations I mentioned could go and get a license to sell cheap ass springers etc and get one. I mean there are other products that you need a license to sell, alcohol and tabaco. now i dont know much about then sale or licensing behind these but i would assume the owner of a shop makes an application to the relevant body and gets a license after some validation. so whats to stop any joe getting a license to sell crap springers, stick a sign up saying 18 years only and hope he dioesnt get caught selling to irresponsible parents who get them for the kids? the same of course could be said for alcohol and tabaco, but i'm sure those very same irresponsible parents would say "that's different" if someone mentioned it to them. is licensing for hobbists the answer to this? should it be a case of you just register as an owner of a RIF and thats it or should you need to register each one you own? but then it creates a scenario as mentioned above:

One worry is about private sales such as those on airsoft adverts

I would think by restricting the sale to licensed retailers only to sell second hand would be in breach of that legislation.

the licensing actually refers to the importation of rifs into the republic of Ireland, i theory 2nd hand sales should still be allowed but this is one of the issues that does require classification ( along with what actually classes as a rif for example ) by the doj as to how they will interpret and enforce some areas of the bill

Seems to be news thats a year or two old re-hashed by some reporter
that decided to do a story......

....unless its getting close to the time when they finally sort out retailer licenses and enforce the personal import ban (which I am dreading since
I've one last gun to get myself before its enforced after that I wont mind the ban so much

)

Nope. Waiting on a Bren gun from a chap who builds custom guns.
I'm on a waiting list at the moment. (And I've been waiting 6 months already)

Was wondering if you had gotten a date on that yet. If you're stuck, I'll give it a good home ;-)

I think you both need to get a room and have this out - whoever walks out picks up the Bren.

Easy. I just tell him the bren is in the room. He runs in, I close door and lock it. Then I pick up Bren.

I'll hold out I just have to stop myself from looking at what other goodies are
on the shoot n scoot webpage. They have some nice stuff.

Just sent Warren a PM a few mins ago so waiting to hear back from him.
Last Nov he reckoned 4-5 months, and Last February he reckoned at least 6 months.

Firekitten · 17-06-2011 9:45pm

Thats what you get for buying such a silly gun, and wanting to put rails on it.

MerryDespot · 17-06-2011 10:02pm

No problem with the gun - just the rails.

ZB26 =/= Bren, sadly.

Puding · 24-06-2011 9:21am

as far as i can tell the read else where there doing both

Firekitten · 24-06-2011 9:22am

I'm dubious if its going to be a dressed up 26... the zb33 was a bren copy, but i fear it wont be 'right', just chinas 'well its close enough' aproach to some things.

we shall see.

to give them credit zeta have done a good job so far and process have not been that bad, and considering your only other option at the moment for a bren is a a custom job with a long long production time, even if it is not 100% correct it will still be the most practical option
