If I recall the Buffalo Classic is the 45/70 and the Classic Carbine is the 45 LC.
The buffalo Classic 45-70 had a LONG barrel. I would need to measure mine but I was thinking 28-30 inches. The Buffalo Classic in 38-55 had a slightly shorter barrel. My BC in 45-70 shoots FANTASTIC with 300 grain bullets. With 405's it will rattle the fillings out of your teeth. I haven't drug that 45-70 out in probably 10 years so maybe I need to list it for sale and see if there is any interest.
