Interesting lower grade Bernard pattern, on what looks to be a Lefaucheux action
It's similar to this pattern, found on a few 1890s No. 1 Smith guns which (as this example) are usually marked 'Laminated Steel', which was offered on No. 1s 1892-1898. I suspect the rough forged tubes came in a batch of Laminated tubes and were used up

Ribbed barrels were often seen on Prussian and Austrian muzzle loading double and single barrel rifles from the 1860-1880s.
