OfflineNo, it is not a Carbine. If the barrel is actually 26-inches, it is a special order “short” rifle. In your measurement of the barrel, did you include the threaded barrel shank that extends to the rear edge of the frame ring?

This was my grandpas 1876 45-60. Just looking it over it has a 26inch octagon barrel, from books it looks like most had 28inch. It has a full mag tube. Would this be considered a carbine with an octagon barrel?
