i hope this helps a little,the lock mechanism is known as a dog lock firing system,it originated around the 17th century.and was broght to america . it was used in jamestown and alot of frontiersmen adopted this type of rifle and done some customizing of their own. It looks to be maybe virginian or kentucky.about all i know hope it helps also if you get a chance measure the barrell by itself it should be about 42 inches.
