RonB,
In order to provide information on your Rolling Block, we would need information on markings & features.
Photos would be the most help.

Caliber would help, too. Is the bore just a bit over 1/4", or is it a full 1/2". Former would be a 7mm, captured from a Spaniard, latter a New York State rifle in .50-70.

Or if just over 3/8 inch then .43 Spanish caliber - very common in Cuban use & Spanish use in the Phillipines.

This is a highly modified New York State model in caliber .50-70. The barrel and fore stock have been shortened, and the forelock might not even be the original one.
