Old Winchester front sight issues.

[alaskabushman]

I have acquired a Winchester 1894 saddle ring carbine in 30-30 (.30 WCF on the barrel) and after shooting a few round found that it is shooting very high. The rear Marbles sight is adjusted as far down as it will go. So I am in need of a new, taller front sight, the existing sight is pinned so a new dovetailed sight will not work. Anybody know any good sources for old style front sights that can be filed to the desired height?

If you don't get an answer here, try Paco Kellys Leverguns web site. Lots of guys on there familiar with these guns and parts for them.
