Default Strange Leica MD

Some months ago i bought myself a leica MD at ebay, wanted to do some macro and i wanted one for the collection It ended up on the shelf without looking at it. Had a tough spring.

So it was resting there until today when i investigated it. Very much to my surprise it is M39 screwthreads ....

It seems to be a rebuild. The M type lens release button is there.

The really boring part is that the threads are fitted to deep into the body so i can't use it with my Elmar and Summarit. I can't screw it on all the way.

So the question to you guys are: Have you ever heard about such a conversion? Can you understand why? Seems like a really big thing to do. Must have been cheaper to buy a screwmount camera?

And do you think i can use it with Visoflex? (I really hope so ....) which parts do i need?
