Sorry if this should be in the Off Topic section, i wasn't sure so feel free to move it. Anyway ...

For all you UK nerfers (i know you're out there), i can't seem to find a good place to buy PVC for homemades e.g. SNAPs and the like anywhere, or a decent non-online spring retailer.
I'm sure many of you also have this problem but if you know of any places that definately sell them I would like to know.

For reference I'm based in North London - Bucks area.

For all you in the USA, we dont have any major retailers like Ace Hardware or Lowe's in the UK so materials are pretty hard to come by - especially PETG!

Thanks in advance.

Try RS Components (they sell mainly electrical items for The Trade, but they stock springs). You can search their webby, maybe they have something you could use. They have an outlet just by Heathrow Airport.

For the PETG, try aquarium specialists.
For the PVC pipes and connectors, ask a plumber where he gets his spares.

Other than that, you will have to mail order.
Maybe some of the Nerf Blastersmiths in Singapore will ship to you.

I'm not from the UK, but try searching for builders' supply stores. I have found one called "Jewson Builders Merchant" by searching "UK builders supply" and they seemed to have some of the stuff you'd need.
