West Viriginia Rifle
« on: June 30, 2025, 05:33:12 AM »
Good evening!

I'm pretty new to the whole muzzleloading world. I'm trying to learn more about a WV builder named Dennis McCullough from Taylor County, WV (1819 - 1903). I would love any information on him or his rifles, if anyone has any.

Also, I would love to hear any thoughts that you have on this rifle. It's a .32 cal rifle passed down through our family. It was owned by my great great grandpa in WV. He was alive from the late 1800s until 1950.

Thank you!

Hi Stevan,
Welcome to the forum.
Regarding that name, have you done a general search for the name and dates? There is some genealogy stuff online for that name and those dates in WV.
