Ian, you have my number today! 86 SRC 1907 in 45-90. It is kind of like the missing link to my collection. You can keep the big 50's. I have actually seen more src in 50 cal than 45-90
  

I knew it!
Congratulations Tom and Happy Birthday.
That carbine definitely has a place in your collection.  It really was the missing link.
  

Thanks Steve. You are right, I have spent a lot of time looking for this configuration to fill in the puzzle. Passed on a restored one and a clunker and glad I did. Has the character I look for in my guns. A little bit of wear with a generous amount of good upkeep and one that makes you wish it could tell the stories it has. I will have to try get the whole family together for a group photo soon.Laugh

I would add a src in 38-56 would not get kicked out of this house.
  

.38-56 is the most underrated Model 1886 caliber, fun to shoot, accurate, and easily formed from .40-65 brass as long as you don’t pursue the next step and turn it into .33 Winchester.

Where did you find that gem?
Winchester 1886, SRC, August 1901 or later (blued frame), I would guess .45-70 Government.
  

Ian you are on the right track. 
  

Close?  How about .45-90?  22” barrel.

Thanks. I will let the members guess what it is and the caliber,
  

Happy birthday brother! Looks amazing and like an 1873 to me! No clue on chamber but I’ll guess 44-40? Congrats on the big six O! I’m 6 months behind you so by then you should be tired of this one and can pass it on 😀
  

Sorry Buck, not a 73. And fwiw I don't think I will tire of this one to quickly!
