Anyone know or remember the heigth of the factory front sight on this model?

My 1894CBL with 24" barrel chambered to .357 Magnum measures .5635 from barrel dovetail to top of the site. If I took out the front site I could get a more precise measurement but that should give you a close idea. I have a Lyman 66A receiver site mounted and it works perfectly with the factory front site. Mine's a shooting SOB with my own cast bullets using the Ranch Dog 359-175 RFNGC bullet which weighs 179 grains lubed and gas checked. I run it at 1638 fps with 2400 powder. Even with my old failing eyes she'll put three shots into under an inch at 50 yards.
