Marlin 39 and Lyman 17A question

I would like to do some cowboy silhouette shooting with my Marlin 39. I'm adding a Williams Foolproof rear peep to it. For front sight, I'm going with a Lyman 17A but which sight height do I need? In Brownells I see the heights as .465", .494", .584" and .854". I would be getting a set of Lee Shaver inserts also.
Which front sight height should I go with? Lowest?
Marlin 39 and Lyman 17A question
I think I went with the 494" height Lyman. I used the William Rear and it had PLENTY of adjustment.
I also used the Shafer Inserts, but to be legal(NRA rules) you can only use a post front insert.
Also, go ahead and get the merrit adj appature.
Thanks. I'm not seeing that aperture on Brownells? NT

I dealt with them a few years ago. They are nice folks.
Measure the issue sight and get the one that is the same or
