We are going to need some better photos to include any markings, lockplate etc. Then we can see just what you have.
 
If the "rifle' you are referring to is the one with the powder flask hanging on it, it is a smoothbore made in the 1960s. A friend of mine had one that we shot a few times back about 1968. It was a smoothbore of about .40 caliber and my friend bought it new for about $30.00. I seem to recall that back then they were marketed as "Brazilian trade muskets". I would be careful shooting it.

The gun looks like one of the " cap and ball trade muskets" that were advertised in old issues of American Rifleman from the 1960's. Made in Brazil or Belgium. Dixie Gun Works, Potomac Arms, P& S Sales and a handful of others had these for sale for well under $20. Small bore. Primarily decorators. The "pirate" pistols were the same. They could be shot but with light loads.
