Knight DISC 1:20 .45 question

I know there aren't alot of them out there. I'm confused as to how to tell which models actually came in 1:20 twist.

My understanding is all the .45 Elite's are 1:30. Correct?

Do all Extreme models actually say Extreme on the barrel? ie: DISC Extreme
Did any of the .45 Extreme models come in 1:20? Or only the older/original disc?

What would the barrel of a 1:20 say? Just DISC?

I saw one in a store a while back that just had DISC on it... no Extreme, and it was a .45. It was used, the store owner had no idea what the twist was. It had a fluted barrel and thumbhole comp stock.


Do any say Super Disc on the rifle? I know I've seen that mentioned alot, and apparently Knight called some of their guns by this name.

Thanks

I can't help with the different 45 models but this post,

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=25346&p=192087&hilit=Knight+45+cal+twist#p192087

contains info re: Knight Original 45's twist rate break.
Scroll down to the first post in the thread by Sabotloader.

My understanding is only DISC original " Orange Disc " Rifles. No Elites, No Extremes. They should have a fluted barrel. With the below serial numbers.

Here is the serial number break..

Serial number change for the .45 twist rate was anything prior to #2291 on mild steel and #5043 on stainless were 1:20 twist. Hope this helps

I've come close to buying a couple but my 1/30 shoots so good that I need someone giving it away to add another gun to the cabinet.

All Extreme/Elites are 1-30

No - not on the rifle - The fluted barrel was a Super DISC

I know I've seen that mentioned alot, and apparently Knight called some of their guns by this name.

Is it only the original DISC rifles (orange disc), or did the .45 Extreme (red disc) come in 1:20 also?

DISC Originals Only... Someone could have converted a Original to the Red DISC but the rifle needs to start life as a DISC Original [/quote]

All depends on the serial number for the rifle mentioned above...

Are you looking to get a DISC I-20? The reason I ask I see one come up every now and then on the auction sites.

Well Mike, I wouldn't mind having one...but I'm not in dire need or even on the hunt really. If one came along and was a fair deal, I'd probably grab it. Its just one of the several that are on my radar - or wish list

If you happen to bump into one, certainly I'd appreciate you letting me know if it wasn't something you wanted for yourself.

There are one or 2 that say D.I.S.C on them on Gunbroker now. One looks like it was put in a Disc Extreme stock. There is another one that does say D.I.S.C Extreme and has a Fluted barrel. It is Blued and has a pretty Walnut stock. Not sure if that one could be a 1 in 20 but man it is nice and says NIB. SN# 000092. :shock: Do you all think that could be a 1 in 20?

Yesir, thats a beauty. I like walnut and blued combo's in about any rifle. They just go together so nicely.
According to Sabotloader, if it says Disc Extreme its a 1:30.

It is as it says - DISC Extreme - so it will be a 1-30 - but man this is a beautiful gun..

The two stainless on broker - one with the 70000 serial number is DISC O but it will be a 1-30

THe other one, the one with the scope I can not read the serial number - I requested it from the seller but have not heard a thing...

I was afraid so. It looked like it had the periods in the DISC part plus the low SN. But it was the wood that caught my attention plus new old stock. I think I have only seen 2 like that and the other was a 50cal.
