Jumping straight to the point some of you might have noticed that I like old, rare and/or custom markers, where would I go about finding markers like that in London?

I'm going next week and I suppose it can't hurt to show up to some of the fields with a wad of money in my hand trying to throw it at that a random guy with a nice marker who barely knows what a forum is. Or trying to buy whichever old marker is hanging on some stores wall.

Do people like that even exist or am I really limited to what I can find on the UK boards?

Errr, nowhere. About the only site in London proper, is Tower Paintball. Mayhem out in Abridge is probably next closest, they used to have some old, old pistols at one point.

You should probably PM Exile (he lives in Central London), he has stacks of guns lying around (last time I was round there his gaff looked like a cross between a DVD Porn Library and a Peshawar Klasnikov dealership). He's probably got a whole load of weirdness there, RaceGun Half Blocks, old Timmies and some Shockers that look like RPGs.

I'm sorry for the first post being a bit random :O
Thank you for the replies though, I guess I'll just throw up a craigslist add and maybe find something that way.

Some of the guys on UKScenario have a thing for older markers, E-mags, auto cockers etc. May be worth post or two?
