My Early Lancaster carries a 42" bbl. You plant the RIFLE butt and lean the muzzle to the side, or as my friend says, plant the RIFLE butt and walk away.. lol.
I had to specify which butt to plant.

That’s a nice squirrel rifle you have there, MDH. It would be a real hoot to squirrel hunt with that rifle. What is the weight of it?
I hope you can get what you want out of it. With it being a percussion, Id like to have it but the funds are not there.
IMO, and to elaborate on its length, my guess is those may have been best suited for a tall man. However, I’ve loaded my squirrel rifle while laying on the my side on a fairly steep hillside. It was not a problem whatsoever. This tells me that it would not be difficult to load your squirrel rifle by simply leaning it over and placing the buttstock out on an angle. Not the most convenient but it is entirely doable.
Good luck on your sale, sir.

Absolutely beautiful. If there were any way I could get this shipped to France without a mass of paperwork and customs charges, I would love to have it.
We can look into it from this end if you're interested. PM me your concerns and I will contact our post master
