Hämmerli SP-20 Front Sight

Greetings,
Quiz for the Hämmerli SP-20 Owner's.
My front sight measures 9.30mm from top to bottom. (Sight removed from shroud.)
Did Hämmerli offer optional front sights? I could not see one in the parts list.
I would like one that is taller.
Since Hämmerli is now a "collectable" factory service is gone.
Cheers,
David

]My manual shows several under piece # 137 Foresight.
3.2/3.6//4.0 1.333.140
2.4/2.8/3.2 1.333.150
3.2/3.6/4.0 (+1mm) 1.333.170
3.8/4.4/4.7 1.333.160
Best I can do this early in the morning.
I'll still dig out my spare parts bag and see what I have.
Cheers, ken gordon

Sorry, no extra front sights came with the SP-20, but isn't the front sight adjustable up-and-down anyway? I know you can rotate it to get different widths ; the beauty of triangular front sights.

If you can't get a higher front sight you might like to do the following.
Get a piece of thin metal and cut it to the same width as the sight but a bit higher and fix it to the sight with super glue. Spray it with sight black and you're good to go.
