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.
