Conversion cylinder for .44 Navy

Are there any conversion cylinders for an 1851 Navy in 44 caliber? I've got a Pietta and have been wondering about this. Does anyone know if they're available?

Only in a steel frame. They will work in a brass one but the gun wont last long unless you use really light hand loads

Thanks guys! Mine is a steel frame so no worries. Now what I really want is a converted 1858!
