Hello all,

A quick question regarding stock discs. I have a 1918 BSA Lee Enfield No.1 MK III with C broad arrow marks on receiver and barrel. Re barreled in 1941 and sold off to the civilian market in the 1950s - subsequently sporterized. This was my grandfather's moose rifle and I have since settled it into the woodwork from my 1918 BSA DP rifle to make it into a full-wood shooter. My thoughts here are that I want to shoot my old rifle more, and I am not going to shoot the DP so I'll use the parts in order to enjoy my Canadian No.1 which was a fine shooter as a sporter. Neither rifle had a stock disc. I would like to install one - what is more correct? A blank disc, a Canadian disc, or a British disc? I would love to have a NFLD or Cape Breton Highlanders disc simply due to local history and the fact that my Great Grandfather fought in the Great War with the Canadians after being rejected for service in the Royal Newfoundland Regiment.

Any thoughts on what would be the most correct / where I could acquire a stock disc with screw would be much appreciated.

If it's a Canadian marked rifle, a Canadian disc is most fitting. That said, a blank disc may be best if you can't find an old one and just have the blank stamped.
 
I have the same issue OP. My project 303 is packed away and requires more bits and bobs plus the disc. I'm not sure what to do / use either.

I know nothing about stock disks, but your grandfather was probably lucky he did not join the Newfoundland Regiment.

I agree... He joined in November 1916 and was wounded by a bullet to the head in Vimy Ridge in 1917, he went home to NFLD after the war and lived into the mid 1960s.
