The Peifer was and is a quality rifle. Bob's Guns and Tackle in Hastings used to sell them. I have handled quite a few of them several years ago. They also had pre-rifled conical bullets that would load and shoot very nice. They came with Bell & Carlson Stocks and Douglas Barrels
They were not the first production inline rifle to use the 209 primer though, the Michigan Arms Corp "Wolverine" (1979) holds that distinction as far as I know. Another rare 209 primer inline was the Lenartz RDI-50 that was made in Alto, MI.
Here is some information with pics of the Peifer.
