Dimensions of a S&W four position adjustable front sight

[Jeroenw114]

I might want to install a S&W four position adjustable front sight on a other brand revolver, a Manurhin MR93.
Would someone help with dimensions of such a sight so I can see if it would look OK?
Length, width and height would be nice.

The revolver where I would like to put it on:

If you don't know what it looks like, how do you know you want it on your gun?

I would mill the bottom of the sight flat. I would mill a section from the top of the barrel(it's a cast section and a barrel tube) with the length of the sight and to the dept where the width is the same as of the sight. I would drill two holes trough the bottom part of the sight and barrel cast, tapper thread in the barrel, drill the holes larger in the sight, countersink it for screws. Last I would mill clearance for the selector.
I think I can set the front sight quite low in the barrel. The rear sight will get a large home-made blade, hard soldered to the original, milled down, Millett blade.

I like placing good, large sights as well as making other changes in favor of results and looks.

I'll give this a try. I have one on a 6" Mod 29 Classic.

Top showing the 4 allen set screws used to adjust the distances.

The slot cut in the top-strap measures .410". Would imagine is cut with rounded ends, as the "wheel" is .614" in diameter.

Right Side.

Left Side

My barrel is magna-ported, just below the sight, this caused a lot of residue to get on the wheel.

The length of the base is 2.202". Width is .490". Height (of base exterior) .221". Width of sight Interior piece (which raises and lowers in the exterior base) is .340".

Thank you very much!
Nice 29 by the way, I love unfluted cylinders.
