A friend brought over this family heirloom gun to show me. It has what appears to be Pennsylvania Rifle Works on the lock. It has an octagonal bore that I guess must have been forged over a mandrel maybe. It was in pretty used and abused shape and was the first octagonal bore I have seen on a gun.

Maybe have it re-bored out and returned to service! Unless it's too beat up to do that.
Is the rifling straight, or twist?
