I found this Whitney Kennedy today in a rare configuration...a saddle ring carbine. As if a Whitney Kennedy isn't scarce enough the SRC is a nice addition...

Contrary to popular belief, there is not a small frame and large frame version of the Whitney-Kennedy. To be correct, there is small caliber and large caliber versions but both used the same frame. The most likely calibers for the SRC were .44/40 and .45/60 but this could be different - I am eager to hear. I'm sure you will find the action quite smooth. Nice gun!
