It is stamped on the barrel and would be either .30-30 or .32 Winchester special as the two most popular calibers. Very early rifle might be marked 30W or 30Win.
Actually, there are a lot more possibilities than those two. This model was manufactured from 1894 until 2006 and has been chambered for everything from .22 to 38-55, including some like the .357 magnum that are usually considered revolver cartridges.
Add 44 WCF to that list.

Your Winchester model 190 is a semi-auto .22LR chambered rifle with a tube magazine that holds 15 rounds of .22LR ammo.You start with unscrewing the magazine tube which is located under the barrel and pulling out until there is a small window in the tube exposed.Then load the tube with the correct caliber rounds with the rim of the shell facing the receiver.After loading push the tube back into the receiver and screw or lock the magazine.Then pull the operating lever on the bolt back and let go of the bolt.This will chamber a round in the chamber of your model 190.Put the safety on until ready to fire at your target.The rifle will feed each round as you pull the trigger.Unload by pulling the bolt back each time until the rounds are finished being ejected from the receiver.
How do you remove the barrel from a Winchester model 190 rifle?
This is not a trivial thing. I would suggest that you go to http://www.krausebooks.com/category/firearms_knives and buy the Gun Digest book Assembly/Disassembly volume III on Rimfire Rifles. You will need a special spanner to remove the barrel nut. I too have this same question. The barrell of my Winchester Model 190 has begun to separate from the receiver. The firing pin does not strike the shell hard enough to fire the bullet. Has anyone discovered how to remove and replace the barell? http://www.swishercs.com/winchester/
