From what little I know, it seems to be a rifle assembled from a collection of parts old and new. What strikes me first is that the trigger....especially the style of the front one.....doesn't go with the percussion lock or the rest of the gun.
 
The lock was flint and it looks like the gun was assembled using some salvaged parts, none modern except possibly the trigger guard. The muzzle was probably filed to that configuration and the rifling looks to have 6 very narrow groves.
