Gardaí attached to the Special Detective Unit recovered the firearm along with a quantity of ammunition during the search.
"The removal of this firearm from circulation should be considered a significant blow to the operational activities of dissident republicans in the border region," Garda chief superintendent Justin Kelly said.
No arrests have been made and investigations are ongoing, a Garda statement said.
