Default Twist rate on knight extreme rifle

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone of you might know how many different twist rates knight rifles made in the extreme line of guns? I have a low serial#...oooo2 ss.45disc extreme with a th stock that I keep coming up with a 1:28 twist. I know of a 1:20 and a 1:30 any others?

There is always an odd-ball or two but this is the factory information for 45's

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

50 cals were all 1-28

Sabotloader,
I am pretty sure that is with the disc rifle, not the disc extreme. I would be really surprised if your disc extreme is not a 1 in 30 twist WW.

My 45 disc elite seems to have a 1:30 twist. Only checked it once, but that is what i came up with.

This only applies to the Super DISC .45 that uses the orange plastic disc. Extremes and Elites are 1:30.
