What is the differences between this model and the same Winchester marked1873 Carbine? I see they are both 20" in length. Historically what is a carbine?

Question

James G. · Answer

Gary, Carbine and Short rifle are essentially interchangeable barrel length wise. The differences are cosmetic only in the two. Notice the Barrel Band, Stick Band and Butt Stock design differences between the two.
