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?

No, 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?
