“Make: Winchester, customized by Pfeifer Rifle Co., stocked by Kennedy (presumably Monty Kennedy) Model: 1885 High Wall Serial Number: 17849 (the serial appears to have been applied at the time of customization and not original to the rifle) Year of Manufacture: Originally manufactured between 1885-1923, according to our research it was customized in the 1950s. Caliber: The barrel is marked “.220 SK” (NOTE: Previous info from our owner's purchase is amplified here & appears in the Item Description). Action Type: Lever Actuated Falling Block Single Shot with Double Set Trigger. Markings: The left-rear of the barrel is marked “.220 SK. / C.G.S. L.A.”. The bottom tang is marked “PAT. OCT. 7th 79” and “17849”. The inside of the forend is stamped “PEEIFER. RIFLE. CO. / CUSTOMED. BY. KENNEDY. / ROSCOE. CALIF. 4-G”. ("4-6" after applying China Marker/Crayon). Barrel Length: 24? Sights / Optics: There is no provision for iron sights. The barrel has two male dovetail bases installed with rings holding a Lyman Super Target Spot 12x scope with fine crosshair reticle. The windage and elevation adjustments are made with the rear ring. The scope’s glass is fairly clear with threaded caps on each end and the body has light wear with infrequent minor surface oxidation, in about Very Good condition. Stock Configuration & Condition: The stocks are two-piece walnut with ebony capped semi-beavertail forend, checkered ebony-capped pistol grip, monte-carlo comb, solid black rubber Pachmayr buttpad, and sling swivels front and rear. The stocks have some scattered light nicks, dings, scratches and scuffs including a few in the caps. There are no chips or cracks. The checkering is sharp. The LOP measures 12 7/8? from the front of the trigger to the rear of the pad, 12 3/8? to the back of the wood. The pad has wear at the heel. Overall, the stocks are in about Very Goodplus condition as not original to the rifle. Type of Finish: Blued. Finish Originality: Refinished, we believe the finish is original to customization by Pfeifer. Bore Condition: The bore is bright with sharp rifling. There is no erosion in the bore. Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 94% of its metal finish. There are patches of finish loss on the left-rear of the barrel and on the left of the receiver at the bottom-front. There is infrequent scattered minor surface oxidation and some other minor wear. The receiver has a slight plum hue. The lever, breech-block and hammer show light operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to tool marked with strong slots. The markings from the customization are quite clear, the original patent marking has soft edges but is legible. Overall, this rifle is in about Very Good-plus condition as customized. Mechanics: The action works correctly. The hammer has a safety notch. The front trigger can be set by pushing the rear trigger forward. When not set, the trigger breaks crisply and is fairly light. When set, the trigger is very light and crisp. The lever locks up solidly. We have not fired this rifle. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This rifle comes with the installed scope as described. Our Assessment: (NOTE: Condensed from previous ) This example was customized by Pfeifer Rifle Company with stocks by Kennedy (we presume this marking indicates Monty Kennedy). Joe Pfeifer was the leading custom gunmaker in the United States according to a November 1950 article in Popular Mechanics which states “The difference between Pfeifer and, for example, Remington is the difference between a small outfit that builds high-speed racing cars and General Motors. One makes a product to the customer’s own specifications, the other turns out fine rifles on a mass-production basis.” Pfeifer was located in Roscoe, California, later re-named Sun Valley, and built both custom rifles and made custom barrels for individual and commercial customers, producing some 700 barrels per month in 1950. The caliber marking on this rifle, “.220 SK” is something of a mystery, but once you figure out the right cartridge, this Pfeifer custom promises to be a tack driver. Please see our photos and good luck!“

It has Winchester Closely-Spaced Double-Set Triggers (push the rear to set) and all of the metal appears polished and reblued. The untapered round barrel is 24 Inches x (approximately) 7/8 “ Diameter – topped by a Lyman Targetspot 12X scope in good and fully serviceable condition. The owner purchased this exact rifle at a few years ago. Pertinent excerpts of the listing are copied at the end/bottom of this section.

The .22 Short Krag has MV’s > 3,900 fps with 40 gr Speer projectiles and > 3,400 – 3,500 fps with 60 gr Hornadys.

“Make: Winchester, customized by Pfeifer Rifle Co., stocked by Kennedy (presumably Monty Kennedy) Model: 1885 High Wall Serial Number: 17849 (the serial appears to have been applied at the time of customization and not original to the rifle) Year of Manufacture: Originally manufactured between 1885-1923, according to our research it was customized in the 1950s. Caliber: The barrel is marked “.220 SK” (NOTE: Previous info from our owner's purchase is amplified here & appears in the Item Description). Action Type: Lever Actuated Falling Block Single Shot with Double Set Trigger. Markings: The left-rear of the barrel is marked “.220 SK. / C.G.S. L.A.”. The bottom tang is marked “PAT. OCT. 7th 79” and “17849”. The inside of the forend is stamped “PEEIFER. RIFLE. CO. / CUSTOMED. BY. KENNEDY. / ROSCOE. CALIF. 4-G”. ("4-6" after applying China Marker/Crayon). Barrel Length: 24? Sights / Optics: There is no provision for iron sights. The barrel has two male dovetail bases installed with rings holding a Lyman Super Target Spot 12x scope with fine crosshair reticle. The windage and elevation adjustments are made with the rear ring. The scope’s glass is fairly clear with threaded caps on each end and the body has light wear with infrequent minor surface oxidation, in about Very Good condition. Stock Configuration & Condition: The stocks are two-piece walnut with ebony capped semi-beavertail forend, checkered ebony-capped pistol grip, monte-carlo comb, solid black rubber Pachmayr buttpad, and sling swivels front and rear. The stocks have some scattered light nicks, dings, scratches and scuffs including a few in the caps. There are no chips or cracks. The checkering is sharp. The LOP measures 12 7/8? from the front of the trigger to the rear of the pad, 12 3/8? to the back of the wood. The pad has wear at the heel. Overall, the stocks are in about Very Goodplus condition as not original to the rifle. Type of Finish: Blued. Finish Originality: Refinished, we believe the finish is original to customization by Pfeifer. Bore Condition: The bore is bright with sharp rifling. There is no erosion in the bore. Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 94% of its metal finish. There are patches of finish loss on the left-rear of the barrel and on the left of the receiver at the bottom-front. There is infrequent scattered minor surface oxidation and some other minor wear. The receiver has a slight plum hue. The lever, breech-block and hammer show light operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to tool marked with strong slots. The markings from the customization are quite clear, the original patent marking has soft edges but is legible. Overall, this rifle is in about Very Good-plus condition as customized. Mechanics: The action works correctly. The hammer has a safety notch. The front trigger can be set by pushing the rear trigger forward. When not set, the trigger breaks crisply and is fairly light. When set, the trigger is very light and crisp. The lever locks up solidly. We have not fired this rifle. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This rifle comes with the installed scope as described. Our Assessment: (NOTE: Condensed from previous ) This example was customized by Pfeifer Rifle Company with stocks by Kennedy (we presume this marking indicates Monty Kennedy). Joe Pfeifer was the leading custom gunmaker in the United States according to a November 1950 article in Popular Mechanics which states “The difference between Pfeifer and, for example, Remington is the difference between a small outfit that builds high-speed racing cars and General Motors. One makes a product to the customer’s own specifications, the other turns out fine rifles on a mass-production basis.” Pfeifer was located in Roscoe, California, later re-named Sun Valley, and built both custom rifles and made custom barrels for individual and commercial customers, producing some 700 barrels per month in 1950. The caliber marking on this rifle, “.220 SK” is something of a mystery, but once you figure out the right cartridge, this Pfeifer custom promises to be a tack driver. Please see our photos and good luck!“
