Photos would be interesting. It's claimed that Henry Leman of Lancaster, Pennsylvania refused to make breechloading rifles, but here's an old post about one similar to what you describe:

If it has a side hammer, conversion of a Leman percussion rifle might be a possibility.

I will try to post some pics. It does not have a side hammer but rather what looks like a plunger off the back that pulls straight back
