I had everything set up so I grabbed the Owen and took some sight pictures.

The way that Owen got such a low front sight was he used a Lyman 1903 Base and a Mauser slide which has a straight arm unlike the 1903 sight. To get this even lower he milled down the rear bridge. Notice that he also removed the windage knob and slotted the shaft for a screwdriver. The magazine cutoff was also rounded to accommodate the lower sight.
