Check out the half stock flintlock rifle pictured It’s interesting that I’ve heard flintlock half stock rifles were not common In the US
Looks almost like a Thompson Center.

They were not common, but they did exist and a few survive to this day.

That one may have originally been a full stock and was cut back to half stock. Hard to tell from that picture, but looks like it could be a pewter nose cap. These are real common on full to half stock conversions.
