The top and bottom doesnt match. Looks like no finish, its a 7.63 and the barrel looks like a musket. As in its a smooth bore! Zero rifling left.
I know its probably not worth it, I would be better off buying one in functioning condition for a little more money. But...im a sucker for poor orphaned projects. Jim

Jim,
like many or even most of the chinese imports, it is pretty much worn out.
You may never get it to work, at least not without spending a fortune on it.
I'd get a functioning one, if a shot out bore was the only thing- that could be fixed.
