Do you know what caliber it is? Do you have a picture of the buttplate tang? Thanks.

My guess is a British fusil, military style, but maybe shortened at some point in it's life. Nice stepped barrel.
English commercial sporting gun. Kibler's Fowler takes its design elements from guns like these made between 1750-1800. Probably shortened, but it doesn't look like a military gun to me.
@dave_person could probably give a better assessment.

Thank you for the help
Looks like someone polished the history off that barrel.
I was thinking the same but hoping not
With that brass nose cap and the 3 or 4 inches of bare barrel, I would venture it is a military carbine. Perhaps an officers carbine or personal Fusil? (The front sight or bayonet lug appears missing?)
My uneducated guess is British. A close up if the lock would be great. It has an unbridled pan which might indicate an early gun.
It’s lovely, actually.
