Oh, I actually suspect they will end up going to a private collector. They typically have alot more money to spend than museums. I would happily pay $3000 for any one of those rifles, the going rate is about $5000. I actually do have $30000, but that would be a pretty significant chunk of my house down payment and even I'm not that financially irresponsible.
The term musket survived quite long in the States, generally used to refer to a rifle manufactured in military configuration to distinguish it from a sporting version. Winchester actually did market a sporting version of the Winchester-Lee, in fact I know where there's one for sale for under $1000, but it wasn't much more successful as a deer rifle than it was as a military weapon.
