Default OS FP/LA interchangability

Hi Bax,

My question is this: Aside from the lack of boost porting, is the LA cylinder liner the same as the FP? How about the piston? Can I use LA parts in my FPs if I'm prepared to forego the boost porting, or are the dimensions different?

Default RE: OS FP/LA interchangability

Even though the O.S. Max .40 LA and .40 FP have the same bore and stroke, the piston/cylinder sets are rather different. The cylinder liner in the .40 LA has a much thinner wall, so the parts won't interchange.
