It is a Snider, converted from a muzzle loader much as the USA converted them into trapdoor Springfields.

Looks like an Enfield Snider

Thanks for the quick replies, it is rough condition is there value in it in this condition or would it be a parts gun?

Is there some kind of marking by the rear tang screw? Is the rear sight marked with regular numbers or some kind of scribble? My thought at looking at the pictures is that the rifle was one of the snider types made in Nepal and sold by IMA after they purchased the cache of antique firearms from them.

That is what the owner told me, I have inspected and found a small mark where you suggest.
The wood shows signs of some rotting, there is a lot of rust on the barrel and side panels, but it can be cleaned up..

I must say the twisty tie for action lock up is a new one that has not been seen before!

I can’t take credit for that but if you use one in the future I want royalties!

"...value in it in this condition..." What's the barrel look like? Thinking it's a Nepalese Snider too based on the total lack of markings on the receiver.
"...twisty tie for action lock up..." Security. snicker.
