Musket Ball and Barrel?

[OwenA]

So today I found another little lead shot in my back woods. I also found what I thought to be just a random metal piece at the time, but after cleaning it off it looks like it could be the barrel to a pistol or musket; whatever shot these little lead balls. A few parts of the sides crumbled off, but this musket ball fits too perfectly. The last picture shows where I think the hammer could've possibly been. Don't really know. I think it's too much of a coincidence that the ball fits perfectly in it

Doesn't resemble any kind of gun barrel or part. The lead ball would most likely be a piece of buck shot which would be shot from a much larger barrel. A musket, fowler or trade gun most likely.

I was thinking It could be a pistol ball and possibly part of the barrel of the pistol

Could be a rifle or pistol ball, not sure what the iron object is, but not a gun barrel.

What about it being a bag or metal container to hold and carry the "balls"?
