I think I remember the Thunder Tiger bolting in the same holes as the LA. The Magnum XLS series will also. Yhey will be minimum impact construction wise in the changeover.

Super Tiger GS40 or what ever the current model is will be the cheapest alturnative for you to achieve satisfactory results.

If you show up at the field with a LA 40 with a pipe on it, everyone will be whispering to each other about the combination. You may be popular but not the way you want to be popular.

Enjoy,
