I have a Mike Lange rifle with that same bbl length in .45.  It has a 13" lop (max for me) but is a half stock brass mounted.  It was his version of a kid's rifle and fits me perfectly.  You rifle is a beauty and, may I say it, cute.  She has to love that little jewel.

Hanshi,  What load do you shoot in your lite .45 ?   I'm concerned about the weight, and hope to pattern her next week, maybe 35 gr 3f to start & up to 50 perhaps. ?     Tom

Mostly I shoot 60 grains of 3F which is an accurate deer load.  I've been playing around with loads of 30 to 35 grains just so I can shoot it more.

They are a fun gun to make Cap,  rifle or smooth---not everyone can shoulder a long rifle.  Women & kids really take to 'em.....Tom
