I have a bucket of 5/16 inch chain with M3 stamped every few links. I think it is about 75ft long. It also has USA stamped on some links.
I searched chain grading sites, but I could not find anything with M3. Maybe this is just another form of 30 grade?
I've had this chain for years and never used it. I figure it is time to sell it and someone will ask what the M3 represents.
Does anyone have a guess?

Thanks Eugene. I had seen that site but I didn't realize the M was just a manufacture's mark.
