what ever happen to the 20th maine book store in freeport? its been a while since I last been but it is no longer there. it was a great place for manuals and books

 I recently purchased an original civil war Springfield in firing condition. its not your typical Springfield though. First off its a two bander, with a 33" barrel (and I assure you its not a Bannerman Cadet cut down). and its not a cut down that was done by a civilan. you can tell plain as day that it was done by the factory. My original bayonet fits like a glove.  It has an 1863 style stock and buttplate, 1864 barrel, and 1863 lockplate baring the name Norwich. But its not a norwich.
