Neither, it's a top lever bar action. What other info are you looking for? It's still on Lewis's site at http://www.drake.net/html/vintage3.html
American Shooter on Outdoor Life Network just had an episode about him which I believe showed this rifle. Ray Meyer used it for many years. The folks at woodcockhill.com (US owners of the Bland name

) may have more info. Hope this helps.
