I need a favor.

I am pondering buying a pair of .44 Mag 5.5" Bisley Vaqueros. 
The possible killer to this deal is that the front sights were filed off some to "correct" the POI for his bullet weight & velocity. 
If anyone has a stock .44 Mag 5.5" full size Vaquero, could you measure the height?

Much obliged,
Mustang Gregg

My Bisley Vaquero, (older large model), is in caliber 45 Colt.  Do you think it would have the same front sight?  I've not filed it down so if you think it's the same I'll measure it and let you know.   :-\

My Bisley OMV 45colt 4 5/8" bbl .325" tall...both of 'em.

{bbl + sight=1.100"..... minus bbl=.775"} = .325"
