I took an R-grip that I had lying around and was no longer using and removed the leather strap. I attached a split ring to the right eyelet of my m6, and then then threaded the strap through. A bit crude perhaps, but it seems to work pretty good and I like it better than wrapping a neck strap around the wrist. I've thought about making an M-grip out of brass and hardwood that incorporates the leather strap, but my wife seems to prefer that I spend my freetime working on other projects like building a fence for our backyard. Perhaps Tom A. could come up with an M-grip for the Rapidwinder that incorporates a leather strap ala the R/R7-grip or the R8 motorwinder. I still don't have a strap on my m3, so I was thinking of experimenting with something along the lines of a short ice axe/climbing tool leash. I might have to venture into the local climbing shops and pick up some tubular nylon webbing. Hmmm, let's see now, what would look better with an m3, the hot pink or the purple? Tom Finnegan Seattle
