Subject: [Leica] a street ready M3?

Okay folks, I've never owned an M3, (hardly ever seen one..) so what am I
looking at to get a street ready one together I can ACTUALLY use with
confidence alongside my M6?

Downsides of the M3 (and I'm not even sure if I'm correct on these), which I
believe can be remedied...

Weird loading system? (can be updated?)

Annoying rewind knob (add one of those doohickys that make it faster - are
they still available)

Later M rewind lever (is this more useful...)

costs for the above...


also - single/double stroke?  serial#/age to go for..?

Come on all you M3 lovers, whatcha think?
