Steven,
Where do you keep digging up these "different" rifles at? One of these days, you need to find one that looks normal! The easy guess is Tennessee with the iron guard and highly pointed toe, but the shorter barrel, short squared off tang, and the long cheekpiece throw a question mark into that attribution... would be easier if the cheek had multiple incised lines that all expanded toward the rear... but your gun has only a single molding line. The mortise edge around the lock plate looks so clean and undamaged/unchipped, and the iron guard and triggers are in such good shape, that it almost makes me think this is an early 1900s stocked rifle with an older barrel, made for back woods target shooting.
