Hey Folks:

Perhaps part of the problem finding information about Joe Pfeifer is because of the spelling of the last name. Only 2 F's. I looked on my .219 Donaldson Wasp barrel made by him and it is clearly Pfeifer. This barrel is 1.125 inches in diameter. It is attached to an FN Commercial Mauser action and sports a Canjar trigger, and a Monte Kennedy stock. Anyway, an internet search revealed this

https://books.google.com/books?id=r9gDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA154&lpg=PA154&dq=pfeifer+rifle+company&source=bl&ots=y4IQbng6kO&sig=2RvooTwiVx6DDX6xeLYeJTKXfmA&hl=en&ei=-y2XTrLtK9GXtwfClbmIBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&sqi=2#v=onepage&q=pfeifer%20rifle%20company&f=false."

It is a Popular Mechanics article from November 1950. I have that issue, just could not remember which one it was. Very informative. You can copy and paste the link into the address bar of your browser and it will take you right to it.

I have another .219 Donaldson Wasp which is a 1885 Winchester High Wall varminter made by Harry Luft in 1950.

Hope that helps. Please email me at [email protected] if you have any questions I might help with.

Thank you
