I recently came across this parts kit. It was covered in black gunk when I got it. After a few swipes with Citristrip, I was able to bring it back to the original finish. Bases on my research, this was manufactured during the Korean War. Apparently less than 80,000 Ithaca M3A1's were produced? Either way, I am so excited to start this project. I has posted a WTB for a middle chunk to get me started. Enjoy the pictures!

Hello MGB Members, I am looking for a mid-section for my Ithaca M3. There is maybe 2.5" or less of section I need to begin my build. Send me a message if you happen to have anything that would fit the bill. Thanks! -J.

Guys, I am happy to report that my M3 Integral Suppressor manufactured by Curtis Tactical was released to me last week. After 9 months in hock, I finally had an opportunity to bring it home, take pics and report on how this unit has performed. Excellent quality workmanship Cost: ~$1,200 Unit mounts directly to SMG, using original or aftermarket M3 barrel Color and integration with M3 is wonderful, and it looks like part of the gun Easy to disassemble and service (see notes below) VERY quiet Substantial unit, meaning this thing is not light I have shot about 300 rounds through it, all 230 gn ACP, no reloads. 100% functional, no hiccups. I found the SMG to shoot with very little felt recoil and also found it easy to stay on target. There is no need for hearing protection at all. Sound level is very similar to a suppressed .22 w/subs. Lesson learned: After shooting, do disassemble the unit and wipe clean. Especially the two threaded areas. My unit took some work as carbon was able to infiltrate the inner barrel thread mount, inside the can. I put a very light coat of machine oil on all threads. I'm not a wordy guy, but let me end by saying that everyone who owns a M3 or M3A1 should get one of these. Make sure if you do order one, you tell Joe Jones whether its a M3, or M3A1.

Hello, Please give me your opinions on this one. This type of damage has been mentioned here before. It is noticeable, but I have seen worse. How serious is the damage to this receiver for safety and function? Does it need repair or will changing to an M3 retaining plate be good enough? Who can perform repairs, even if just for appearance. Thanks
