Good for you - had a look at it and noted that it doesn't ship to the UK :(

However, there are very similar ones here already - and at similar prices too!

Skirtingtoday,

They now do ship to the Uk and the rest of Europe. Just click "shipping" and you will see the light; it's a miracle!

Happy tactical kilting, Jan.

Too bad those external side pockets aren't big enough for my dismantled Kalashnikov. You can't hope to stop an advancing tank with a little Magnum pistol.
The desert colour wouldn't suit the great central Irish dust bowl either, it'd have to be brownish green with a lot of dull grey in the upper part.

Isn't a Kalashnikov a bit "over the top" for dealing with crows? :shock:

I'd think a .410 (very small-bore) shotgun would do much better unless you're an ace with a slingshot. (The slingshot would attract much less attention from the neighbours.)

Yah - if you are going to murder a "Murder of Crows" you really need a civilized weapon of sorts !
Kalashnikov would be a tad bit on the overkill side and you really would not want to restart the Irish Rebellion would you ?!
The .410 gauge (45 calibre) is fine in the hands of an excellent shooter but I much prefer the 12 guage with #7 birdshot to
cover the target effectively.
Using a sling shot would be needing a lucky shot and then the ability to deliver the coup de grace.
But better yet was what Sapphire mentioned in another post of a pellet gun as long as you could get within killing distance.
You would get not so much fan fare from the neighbors by doing the deed discreetly and silently.

This company isn't serious.

They say:

"NOW SHIPPING INTERNATIONAL
Order today and it will ship by September 1, 2012.
Sorry, this product cannot be shipped to your country!"

1. It takes over four months to get a kilt delivered. Who is supposed to accept that?
2. They obviously don't ship international.

Neighbours!.....Who said I had neighbours? I think Sapphire's pellet gun idea the best. All that is pie-in-the-sky anyway as I'm not in the business of acquiring weapons af any sort, although I have long hankered after a CROSSBOW!!

If I had been foolish enough to have paid that aforementioned kilt firm I'd be waiting with bated breath until mid September for delivery, Ha bl++dy Ha. They''re a non-starter in my opinion.

They do ship internationally, as I sent an email querying it and had a reply asking me to re-submit, which I did.
I rather suspect they will only ship internationally if they do not sell the entire batch within the US.

Well, who should be satisfied with leftovers? I shouldn't.

Why not? If it is something you want and the price is right...

Have fun,

After all, What are sales racks in shops offering....Left-overs, of course, and if you're not a popular size it's amazing what bargains one can come across there.
