44 Mag with a 45 Colt Cylinder conversion?

[Metal-Rider]

Doing my usual weekend browsing from site to site, to see what I can't afford next. I was looking at the used guns on Prophet River's site and came across a Ruger Old Army in 44 magnum with a cylinder conversion of 45 Colt.
I went back a few times to look at the add to make sure my eyes were right. They were.
I didn't think that that would a safe conversion.
Would it be reverse, a 45 colt with a 44 mag conversion? But even then, the accuracy would suffer would it not?
I don't know much about the Ruger Old Army, am I missing something there?

The Ruger Old Army is a black powder, cap and ball pistol.
The recommended ball size is .457".
The cartridge conversion cylinders are in .45 Colt.
Anyway,, not a .44 Magnum conversion to .45 Colt.

I converted my 44 C&B to 45 Colt with a conversion cylinder. Shot really well to.

somebody's confused- the bore on the old army is .452, the bore on a 44 mag is .431- now with the conversion cylinder , you can shoot 45 colt, bit not 44 mag- more than likely a typo, or someone that doesn't know squat about the old army-I just happen to have both, but theprice on the conversion cylinder is almost the price of a dedicated 44 mag-

The ad is incorrect. It's not 44Mag at all. 44 C&B.
