Mrdakota - Welcome to the KCA forum.

FWIW - Your serial number, 90090, is surrounded by rifles and not in a carbine serial number range.

Your "Model 1896." stamp looks normal and your rear-sight is a rifle version.

Can we see a picture of your front sight/muzzle area?

It is likely you have a 'cut-down' rifle.
