Actually, Kyle, you COULD easily do this if you had a later, minty M3.  They're 
bringing around $13-1400 US....easy, minty, used M6 territory.  I sold my M3
(EXC with MINT finder--this is HARD to find, these finders are becoming VERY 
old, and are suffering deterioration--unrepairable by replacement)-- a few years 
ago, and used the money to buy a mint, boxed M4-P.... both were around $900 
at the time....NOW I could convert the same M3 into a very clean user M6.  
(I'm happy with the M4-P)

Unfortunately, a "user" M3 is only worth about $700 US, the "user" M6 about 
$1000-1300....so you'd have to go "mint to (near)mint"....to actually pull it 
off!

Best for the holidays, I'm off to Houston, 
Walt
