It's likely a private branded Curtis action. Lone Wolf Rifles is Bobby Kiegans new(er) custom rifle company. He was the owner of CK Arms and Freedom Gunworks.
Thank you for this! With that, I was able to find way more information online. Read through another forum based around pistol competition shooting that, although from Feb 2021, yielded some good/interesting stuff:
“When it began CK was a Matt Cheely/Bobby Keigans venture Hence CK. Then Matt opted out but kept making parts for Bobby who continued to build under CK name”
Goes on to talk about how they, at that time, had recently been acquired by MPA, that both these original owners were (maybe still are?) working for MPA. It’s just my assumption/summation of what I read there, and again based off of info from a nearly 3 year old thread, but sounds like MPA’s current high end pistols are in essence the direct continuation of what CK arms was producing, or, maybe still is producing? Sounded like, at least at that time, after the acquisition, they shifted the production to MPA but the pistols were still branded and marketed under the CK brand.
The few people on there that spoke directly to the topic of the original owners of CK Arms, Bobby Keigans and Matt Cheely, painted them both as being held in very high regards, being stand up guys, and backing up their products by providing quality support for any issues that might arise from their work, even continuing on with doing such post MPA acquisition.
Link to the thread in reference in case anyone else is interested and/or would like to read where I pulled the bulk of the above info from, and would like to read it for themselves rather than just catching the cliff notes from a newbie with limited experience/knowledge to be working with and/or qualifications to be trying to interpret and relay info to those much more knowledgeable than myself, lol:
Both big these websites were unreachable when I tried. Any idea what's going on with them.

By any chance, does anyone know if Bobby Keigans has an account here on SH? On the above forum it sounded like he was not only open to people reaching out to him directly, but was typically pretty on the ball with getting back to people promptly as well. Would love to ask a few questions regarding the Lone Wold Rifles and their 3 lug SA receiver.
It sounds like if their action is anything reflective of their previous, and ongoing, pistol work, it is likely a quality piece that’s just lacking wide spread availability in terms of knowledge/information regarding them, which I’m assuming is likely secondary to their limited production and resulting lack of first hand knowledge of them, as well as the apparent lack of general knowledge of the Lone Wolf Rifle Company’s existence in the first place. In turn, again just an assumption, but that may be a good sign that they keep their operations on a smaller scale to allow for a higher level of quality, detailed craftsmanship, to go into the limited number of offerings that they do introduce into the market.
Plus, I think a Solus custom with a 20" 1:8 twist chambered in 7 SAW would be pretty nasty.
