Anyone know what the maximum height is that they made No.4 front sights. I have one around .400 in. height top to bottom. Still hitting high with battle sight. Not sure how tall of a sight you can get? Any help appreciated.
 
Thanks very much for the replies. Will look into Ebay. Its an EAL barrel so easy to change sight blades with small set screw. Sporter with EAL 200/400 battle sight. I expect its on at 200 yards but its a woods rifle for me and 8 inches high at 50 yards with center hold doesn't work for me.
 
Found a chart for no.4 front sights. They are marked from -.030 (lowest)and increase in .015 increments to + .090( the highest). British lad who wrote article claims each .015 change in sight height changes point of impact 3 inches at 100 yards with Mk 7 ammunition. 2 inch change per .015 with 7.62 NATO.
