I am interested in a Winchester 1892, but it is in 44-40, and I would prefer it to be 45 Colt. Is there enough diameter there to have the barrel bored to 45 specs? I think it may be a little thin...Are there better candidates for this on the 1892 platform?

Also of note, these are older, original rifles, as I'm not interested in any of the new stuff.

Thanks!

R.
