It is called a FALSE MUZZLE and is used during the loading process so as not to damage the rifling. There also should be a piece that fits over the False Muzzle with a short rod that goes down into the barrel (usually made of Brass) that is called the Short Starter and is used to start the bullet down the barrel.

Take a look at the Bullet Mold...it is either going to be a ROUND BALL mold or it is going to have what is known as a Sugar Loaf Bullet/Picket. Bullets from that mold are what ya want to shoot with that thing.

Also DO NOT LOSE THE BOX OF TOOLS>>>those add significant value to the rifle.

Also pleas give more info on the scope...is there a mfg's name on it? Is it just a sight tube or have optics?
