The chambering will be stamped into the barrel next to or under the Winchester name.
Model 1890's all had .22 caliber barrels, but they could be chambered in short, long, and long rifle (LR).
You might even find one in .22 WRF (The fore runner of .22 magnum.)
If there is no chambering stamped in the barrel, or it only says .22, it's chambered for the .22 short.
The reason being that it was made before .22 longs and LRs were commercially available.
