The other day my son and I visited the Springfield Armory. It was a most interesting experience, and I highly recommend it if you are anywhere in the area.

The most striking thing we saw was easily the "Organ of Muskets"

645 Springfield Model 1861 Rifle Muskets housed in a 10'x10' double rack, in excellent condition, conservatively $2500+ each.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
