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.

Ohio Gunsmiths and Allied Tradesmen, Volume I, page 151 and 152, by Donald A.Hutslar.  Not iron mounted.  Gunsmiths of West Virginia by Lambert and Whisker, page 141.  Not iron mounted.  Gunsmiths of Virginia by Whisker, pages 123 and 124, not iron mounted.  Arms makers of Western Pennsylvania by Whisker, pages 116, 117 and 118, not iron mounted.  you should be able to get these books from your library on a free inter library loan.

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