It's hard to tell from the angle of the photos, but with the long toe it looks like a Bucks County Verner style profile. As it stands, I wouldn't place it in the 1770's-- more 1790-1800. The width of the butt is key. Older rifles are around two inches or more in width, although even later Bucks County rifles often had wide butts. Early VA rifles looked much the same as early Lancaster's. Folks with more knowledge than I may have better opinions.

Go to Track of the Wolf website. Compare your stock with pictures of stocks on their site. You should be able to find a match.

It does have a Bucks County resemblance but seems to have elements of the late Lancaster style as well. But I'm not all that knowledgeable so this is mostly a guess.

I see a John Armstrong (Emmittsburg, Maryland) lefhand stock. That could be a Jacob Dickert as well, just different locks hardware, and decoration. If you're really interested, you need to be looking at books with photos of original rifles and not some duplicator's patterns named whatever they choose. That wood appears to be sugar maple.
