Strattons vol 4 states that P14s going through Weedon repair had stock discs removed. I have 3 stocks, all having the WRS star on the butt. Only one has the disc removed and plugged. The other two have original disc and these dics were unmarked. Would it be safe to say that the discs were only removed if they had unit markings on them? The Weedon repair is a bit fuzzy there.
Thanks
 
Check the Knowledge Library for articles and pics about W.R.S. (Weedon Repair Standard) sub-contractors.

A rifle having undergone W.R.S. repairs may be identified by a six (6) pointed star stamped into the wood, with a letter stamped underneath it indicating the specific sub-contractor who did the work. For example, the pics below show a different 1944 M47c (BSA Shirley) No.4 Mk1(T) in my wife's private collection. The butt itself on her rifle was changed during a visit to for W.R.S. work to W.W. Greener, as indicated by the six (6) pointed star and the letter V, which was their sub-contractor code letter.

Hope this helps ... :)
