Where can I see photos of rifles by James McCammant ?  Are there any on line ? I have seen the dated swivel by him.  How many of his iron mounted rifles are you aware of? Louie

Louie,

The Kentucky Rifle Foundation latest CD, "West Virginia Gunsmiths" has two James McCammant rifles on it. One is signed the other is attributed.

Indeed.  A search on "McCammant" returned 6 threads, most with pictures.
