source of CZ front sight in Canada?

Hi,

Anybody know a source of replacement front sights (just the "bead") for a CZ 550 Safari Magnum? The bead on mine is way too high (# 14 on the bottom), as I need the 300-yard leaf up to get 400 grs bullets at 2400 fps to print dead on at 50 meters.

I tried the online store at CZ-USA but they don't ship to Canada.

Thanks, both of you. I'll call the Toronto outfit tomorrow and see what they have.

Ha, I got the same phonenumber for London Arms, aren't they the importer for CZ arms in Canada. They apparently have 14 sizes! Mine is labelled #14.... now what size would I need (rethorical question, I don't expect anybody to answer that) unless there is a simple way of finding out. If I'd assume a straight bullet flight path from the muzzle to the target I guess a bit of trigonometry (sp?) would do it....

I got a #6 front bead on order now, we'll see how that works out. I could chose between #6 and #8. Thanks again for the assistance.
