Some old a55 chitA little help needed, as these are way out of my wheelhouse.
A friend is cleaning out his deceased grandfather's house and I'm trying to assist him. Any leads on what we have here?

He's bringing them back Sunday, and I'll get a better look then. They look to be in fairly rough condition, but it might be a cool restoration project, even if just for display purposes.the top does kinda look like an old musket was converted to be a bolt action. I know a lot of Civil war muskets were converted to breach loaders, but I haven't seen a bolt action version. the bands were probably added when the wood furniture was cut back to reduce weight.
looking them up you may look towards a Ward Burton or Palmer.
no markings or caliber? Is the barrel rifled?
