Hello francolt,
The standard barrel length for a Model 1876 Carbine was 22-inches.

not muskets , both are carbines , one with saber bayonet attachment , 76 SRC are fullstock , muskets comes with 32" barrels .
those carbines have 24" barrels

I’m confused. I’m seeing two muskets, not carbines. ❓
GobblerForge, what you’re seeing are two ’76 SRCs, not muskets.
Francolt, I would think 24" carbine barrels are indeed rare, if factory original. The barrels on your guns extend longer farther beyond the forend cap than normal 22" bbl. carbines. At least they appear that way to me. I don’t have one here to compare.
Are Winchester factory letters available on these guns?
yes , barrel are original with factory address markings , no factory letters . I not live in USA I live in south america , here most common winchesters are the 1892 carbines in 44-40 other models are rare .

They are definitely special order SRCs. The only way that we can look them up is for you to provide us with the complete serial number.

Very interesting. I didn’t know that the carbines were long stocked like that.
Cool 😀
I don’t know if francolt was going to follow up on the 2 76 carbines so here is some info on them.

No mention of the 24" barrel but, they both look right.

My guess would be the dust cover. The early 76’s did not have them and then they would be an option for a short period until they became standard.
