I am thinking of putting a Bowen Arms rear sight on my Smith 25-13 Mountain Gun (their choices are .370, .385, and .400 height blades.) Which one would be the best fit for my Mountain Gun? I know according to Bowen the Smith .126 front fits the the .370, the .146 front fits the .385 and the .160 front fits the .400, but I can't find a height listed for the front sight on my Smith with it's 4-inch barrel.

I don't know about your front sight height, but the .126, .146, and .160 you're refering to are rear blade heights.
