Couldn’t say. I’ve got a book on American gunsmiths, most every town had one. And that general style was very popular.
We think of kits as new inventions. However even in colonial times barrels and locks could be imported and guns built on that frame. By the nineteenth century parts were wide spread and any talented smith could turn out a gun made from assembled parts as a side business
 
A very plain late percussion era rifle. No patch box or cheek piece, and a back action lock. Probably a smaller bore size?
 
Without a name or some unique feature only used in a certain area impossible to say where it was made. From the 1840's on rifles similar to this one were made anywhere rifles were being made.
