old army conversions - how do they fit

[HawkEyeEarl]

Friends,

I see conversion cylinders for ruger old armies.

Do they fit out of the box?

How does 45 long colt shoot from them? Are there problems?
Are there restrictions on the 45 long colt ammunition that can be used?

Thanks

I use one in mine.
Fit right out of the box.
Works great, The manufacture say to use Coyboy loads.

I have been told you can shoot Jacketed thru them,
Just DONT'T USE Ruger Only loads in them.

I had wondered about the .457 and now I see the bore is .452.

I had past one or two by being unsure about needing fitting.

Thanks for the link.
