Hmmm, interesting thought, Phil.

What about the M4-P do you want on that chopped M9, the manual shutter 
advance (a la RD1)?

The angled rewind would have to go; I don't see any purpose for it.

The rangefinder is the M9 version, or do you want the LED display 
eliminated?

I suppose it would need the 6-bit sensor on the lens mount.  And the 
internal clearance corrected for the DR Summicron.
