Looks like a long rifle.

Percussion cap most likely rifled barrel 1840s- 1900s , if when cleaned up any markings on barrel may shed light to the maker and model

Definitely a percussion cap as it is now but appears to possibly be a converted flintlock. Let us know what markings you find. Did you measure the caliber? Is the muzzle end bent or did the camera distort the shape? Great find in any event.

It's going into the electrolysis tank tonight. Hopefully that brings out a mark. The end is bent a bit. It looks like it was hit by the plow or run over. I'm not sure of the caliber. I'll have to measure it when I get back from work tomorrow night
