There was an article in an old
Guns & Ammo that suggested this approach. The idea was that very little material needs to be removed from the recoil shield to convert from .455 to .45 Colt. As I recall, the article said if you're lucky, you may not have to remove any metal at all. You still had to ream out the chambers, obviously.
Of course, .45 Auto Rim would be a different story, requiring
a lot more material to be removed, I do suppose.
