It still sounds like you have a Model 1890 in .22 WRF with a regular .22 carrier. It is possible that the original carrier was damaged or worn and replaced with the wrong kind in error, but more likely the owner changed the carrier so the gun would fire regular .22 after .22 WRF became impossible to find. You might be able to find a .22 WRF carrier, but I wouldn't hold out too much hope.
