I didn't find a Kirst or Taylor's listing it for the 1851.

Maybe this custom conversion outfit can help you out:

If you go to Kirst website on this page http://www.kirstkonverter.com/coltarmy.html they have a conversion in .45 LC to fit your gun. In the past Kirst made a .45 ACP cylinder but I can not find it listed anymore. If you want to have the smaller case size of the ACP you can use .45 Schofield cases.

The .44 Civilian model at Cabelas is made by Pietta. If your 1873 is a Pietta, it should work. I replaced the brass BS/TG and grips on a Pietta '51 Navy with the steel BS/TG and white grips from a GWII with no problem.
