I'm trying to find out about him and can find next to nothing on the internet, just the following posted in 2012. Apparently he was a 'smith/barrel maker of some fame.
"Chick Donnelly was famous in his own right. P.O. Ackely got him established in business. He rebarrel many guns through his relationship with P.O. and Guns & Ammo magazine. He died about 8 years ago.
Jim Feren used his barrels and won many, many matches including most of the Coors matches from about '83 untill about '95. Jim Feren set the still existing 100 shot OH record in '93 with his Donnelly barrel. He also won bench rest matches against all comers and all other barrel makers at that time."
