When I picked up the 8mm Lebel the other day, the dealer was saying there wasn't much change after the new specs come in but he said it had slowed down a lot now and the deac pistol side also as they are not aesthetically pleasing to the eye as the old specs.
There is a Webley Semi auto on the same site as the L1 you point out, well over priced, I've an eye on a few live ones at present all ok for Sec 7.1 and a lot cheaper than any deac.
