Allan: I recall discussing the .219 Donaldson Wasp (a wildcat) cartridge with Austin. It was a modified .219 Zipper (factory) cartridge and must have had a following among target and varmint shooters. I think Austin knew Harvey Donalson personally. I recognize the last rifle action as an FN (Belgum) Mauser which came along after WWII. I would guess that these rifles were custom made by some gunsmith. Thanks for dealing with them. Years ago I might have been a buyer but not now. Charlie Price
