Hi there! I'm an 18-year-old from Ireland totally new to shooting and I'm looking into starting. I'd love to own a Lee-Enfield and was wondering if there's anyone Irish here who could offer advice? Thanks so much in advance!

From the little I've read of Irish firearms law; it looks a bit complicated! as the local Gardai Superintendant has some control over the delivery of firearms certificates. which means you could be reliant on the personal opinion of the officer as opposed to the Law of the land.
The best way to start target shooting is join a club. Most shooter's start by using club gun's to learn the basic's and safety etc before applying for ownership. In fact it's a requirement in some countries.
I'm not living in Ireland so I don't know the availability of clubs. You will need to look into that locally.

There is a lot of responsibility that comes with firearms ownership; as well as a lot of fun!
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

Welcome aboard, I see you got approved!

Give it a little time this is a small place & not everyone is on every day so it may take a few days for one of our Irish members to log in.

Meanwhile poke about & check out the Info for new owners section.
