I imagine they could sell it for what an M6 would sell for, and since there seems to be a lot of demand for the M3-M4- not just as a collectible, but as a wonderful user. I would rather buy a replica to shoot with since I actually sold my M4 because it was too nice to use, and I could sell it for what an M6 cost!- I wasn't the least bit leary about uising the M6 since it was 'current' and could easily be replaced! Call me crazy, but I bet more replica M3 or M4s would sell than any number of 'O' models! Despite the inherent beauty, they are nice to use!! ( or perhaps a IIIg with a meter where the self timer used to reside!!!)

Buy the way I've always found the "nul" series quite useless . They had better built a IIIF instead , or as you say , an M . JO GOODTIMES -FRANCE/ AIRBORNE RADAR TECH / LIVE FREE OR DIE
