Can anyone help me out here?

I'm want a new stock for my ORIGINAL disc (it uses the orange holders), and although it has been said on this thread that there ARE changes to the stock on the extreme and elite. However, these changes don't rule out the possibility that the stocks will interchange, at least between the original and the extreme (if not on the elite with the different recoil lug), i.e. does not rule out that the relevant inletting is still the same between the original and extreme, such that they can interchange, even if not identical externally.

So are the original and extreme interchangeable? Will the action of one fit in the other and vice versa? I can't find any stocks by themselves for EITHER, but I CAN order either one in a full rifle, and just discard (or try to re-sell) the action/barrel. But since I'm looking for the best price, to get the stock only, I need to know whether I can expand my search to new full rifles beyond merely originals, and add extremes, which more or less doubles my options for trying to get the best price.

No one has for sale a laminated wood RH thumbhole stock for the original disc, do they? Or a full rifle? Or know where I can buy just the stock, or a full rifle with the stock I want? I've looked everywhere it seems. Even freakin Natchez mailed me a catalog showing they had the full rifle, but I get online and it shows the plastic thumbhole stock rifles only, not wood as shown in the clearance catalog.

Is Knight's back in business now or not? I called and called them and could never get a person, so I left a message. They didn't call back, so I emailed them with these questions about trying to buy just a stock - whether they had any. Their response via email? Yep, "call us on the phone and we'll tell you." Oy vey. Well at least they emailed me back, which is more than I can say for a lot of companies - just wish they would have said, yep we can sell you a stock only, or no we cant, so I'd know whether or not its worth it to keep calling a few dozen times to actually get them on the phone to place order. Their website does NOT have a way to order the stock only on the disc extreme, even though it does imply that they would have them (since they sell the whole rifle), and since I've now learned (below - this is an edit) that the extreme will work for my needs!

Any help would be much, much appreciated. I hate plastic, and that's the stock I have now. I've already customized my barrel to a lean and mean 19.5", so I really don't want to pay for a whole rifle if I don't have to, just to get the stock I want, but I certainly will if necessary, albeit shop for the lowest possible price. I don't care what color of laminating, but I want the RH wood thumbhole.

If I *DO* end up having to buy the whole rifle just to get the stock I want, it doesn't matter a great deal what kind of rifle it is, but ceteris paribus, I'ddruther have stainless or nickel over blued, and druther have .45 over .50 or .52.

Thanks again.

Edit: What I mean is, I know they were in business a few months back when I called them, but their website is so static, I can't help but wonder if they're on-again, off-again in figuring out whether they're really a going concern or not.
