Hi Noel,

trust me ......FORGET IT!

That noise you hear could very well be creating internal damage to the
gearing and advance mechanism. I used to do double exposures with the M6
but finally listend to a friend of mine in the Leica tech end who
explained that, "Yes you can make double exposures by holding down the
re-wind lever, however, your asking for more grief than you want!

As far as the M4-2  I would imagine it's exactly the same thing.
