Yes I know 2 of my marshals are in milton keynes ans at one time the office and stuff were in newport pagnell. I don't know about the higher end of the spyder range but the compact 2000 is not easy to feild strip it envolves taking out the whole guts and not looseing srings ect cup seals and lots of bits. They are good work horse guns but then so too the impulse. A simple pin and whoosh the blots out and pull through to clean.
Xmas Trees gun is really nice genuine piece of kit I have seen it reguarly.
Lo 'Xmas Tree' dont suppose by chance you have got a URL to see what the gun looks like cause i am unsure which one it is , i think i know but i wanna make sure
So what you complaining about an hour is nothing in travel time
I have gone to Sparklies site and its a 1.75hrs for me
I did have a site 20 mins away but no more tournys now (for the mo. did hear a rumour they were gonna restart) an hours journey time is average for most sites.
BTW I have a couple of Automags for sale got battle packs, hoppers and masks all lying around
