Not quite sure exactly what this is, anyone have an opinion?

Given the length, I would call this a Boyliya (the name is derived from the word "boy", meaning a man's height). The shishanes tend to be shorter. Another main distiction is that boyliya is usually reserved to indicate a smooth bore, while shishanes were rifled.
The lock on the other hand is not of the Boyliya type. Teodor |

The lock is very Caucasian / Turkish to me. Bulgaria, Turkey, Caucasus, I would call your gun, a Black sea rifle... Best, Kubur |

I am not good with the differences between locks, here is a detailed image if this is of any help. |
You are certainly right for the barrel.
I think that could be an Ottoman lock, the old ones are very similar to the Caucasian locks. |
