I just bought one of these actions. I did a little online research and found that they were built by Dennis Feken. Here is some information the builder gave on the ASSRA Forum in 2012:

"It's neither a FBW or Win. Hi-wall but it was heavily influenced by the simplicity of the FBW with the excellent winchester hi-wall extractor. Opening the action lever raises the hammer to the safety position only and does not cock the action. It's heavier built than either and smooth as glass. They are investment cast in 8620. I've done a few in 4140 & 416 S/S. The action resembles and operates like John Brownings original hi-wall (hammer pivot screw) not the Win. modified action. This action has 6 major parts: Breech-Block/Link/Lever/Hammer/Trigger/Cable Type Hammer Spring. My background was with NRA BPCRS and I've seen a lot of stuff break so with this in mind, I designed a tank that won't break. These actions have been approved by the NRA for BPCRS. It does have Adjustable sear engagement and average about 2Lbs. of trigger pull. Pins and screws are made of tool steel. Magnum Gunstocks in Florida are doing stock blanks for this action now and it's simple to stock-up. I'm currently doing a few for myself to build me some personal rifles. Seems I get me a rifle built only to get relieved of it. I don't know how many more I'll do, the castings are getting more expensive. I'm a one man show so not many get made. I really enjoy making them though. The cable springs I make are 3 strands of .032 music wire thats twisted up like a rope, then formed into a double mousetrap. Pull the topcover off a AK-47/74 rifle and it's almost identical. The solid springs would break after about 3000 rnds. so I went to these to eliminate the issue. So far, I've had no calls for replacement springs sinse I started making these."

I was not able to find Magnum gunstocks so I'm probably on my own with stocking a gun. I don't have it in my possession yet, so I'll post more information as I learn it. I do know that there are two action styles with different extractor designs. From the serial number on the one I bought I hope that it has a Highwall style extractor.

I would like to know if anyone else has a rifle built on one of these actions. Any additional information would be helpful.

No?

Do you have a link to the action you are speaking of?

I have the action. It is as described. It is very well made and very smooth with a wonderful trigger pull. I don't care for the fact that the hammer isn't held back when the lever is dropped. In practice one would have to cock the hammer before dropping the lever. Also, compared to a Highwall, the loading ramp is narrower. I'm thinking of fitting it with a featherweight barrel in a 7X57R or 7X65R.
