M-70 Safari Express Front Sight Height?
Could someone that has one, please measure the front sight height from the dovetail? My Safari Express bounced out of the gun rack in the back of a Land Cruiser in Zimbabwe and broke the front sight off at the narrow portion below the bead. I need to order a new one and don't know the height. The rifle is about 10 years old, Safari Express CRF. The front sight was a white bead but I think I might order a Marbles with the brass bead. Thanks for any help.

I will do it in about half an hour unless someone beats me to it.

I get .375 for the total height of the sight from the bottom of the dovetail to the top of the bead.

I get .275 that is above the height of the ramp itself.

Lemme know if you need anything else.
