I concur
It may be an OLD reproduction with original parts.IT looks like a British Musket barrel mated to a later Precussion Lock,,,80 years later with a pennsilvania stock???? It Might be a rifle bored out to smooth bore, or a comglomeration of parts. It looks very Pennselvania to me but there does seem to be some excelant gunsmithing to it's creation!
Hudson Bay Trade "rifle"?
1840?
