...Rossi 92 lever action in 44 magnum...can it be rechambered to 45 colt?

What all would be involved- would the bolt faces be the same? IIRC the 45 colt and 44 mag use the same shell holder, and if that's true would the bolt be the same...

rebarrel required or modify 44 mag barrel?

Cheaper to buy .45 rifle.

what about a swap- if I have a 45 and a 44...the 44 is in the configuration I want, the 45 is not- barrel swap?
