The Western Conversion was orginally designed for the the Knight DISC, so yes it should work with any DISC other than the Mountaineer series.

As with any Knight there is always a possibility that the breech plug seat may be drilled with a greater or lesser depth than other which can effect the fit of the Western Kit. But, it should be an easy fix to get the proper fit of the Western Breech Plug.

These pictures may help show the Western Kit...

If/when you get you Western Kit - if it does not work correctly let me know and I can share a couple of thoughts with you...

One other thing with a Western Kit it is really important that you assemble the bolt correctly so the firing pin can reach the cap....

Deepcreek, a little bit of additional info on the conversion kit is that if your Original Disc rifle has a blued bolt handle then the new bolt handle will need to be slightly modified for proper fit. You may want to call Knight (866.518.4181) and inquire about having the new bolt modified prior to it shipping so you dont have to mess with it. Then all will work great.
