I believe the answer is yes they are or at least will be soon.  Sherry told
me
at a Camera Show 18 months ago that she had heard learned Leica was ceasing
part supply for
their older cameras. Specifically she mention the M3. 

It is not surprising that they would retain any stockpile of parts for their
own
official service shops.

It's sad to see it happen but not unexpected. Most other manufacturers only
supply parts
for 10 - 15 years after production ceases.
