Does anyone know where I can find a stock disc for a Lee Enfield Royal Irish Constabulary carbine? Thanks in advance

If yours is missing then you're probably better off with a blank disc. At least for the time being. The RIC discs were marked very specific in a font difficult to replicate these days, along with the date of issue. Most are still onboard the original carbines so there aren't many on the loose if at all. (apparently at least one is....yours)

Keep in mind the disc screw is also something a bit different than what is normally available. Not only are the thread and shank size different but the head is too. Even if you were to reshape to give the outward appearance, a savvy collector will spot the cut of the slot.

To fill an empty hole, I think a blank would suffice. It says 'replacement' but doesn't scream "Fakery!".
