Dave,

You can order fiber optic front sight inserts from CZ-USA.  They run about $20.00, and come in various heights from #1 thru #14, with #14 being the tallest.  They come in red only.

Contact Mike Eaglesheild at: Gunsmith@CZ-USA.com

Is there a "standard" height??? What comes with the gun?  With 14 to choose from how does one go about selecting the right height//???? Also do the Williams Fire Sights work???

From the rifles I have seen, there seems to be no standard height for the front sight.  Each rifle is an individual, and is sighted as such by the factory.  There is a number stamped under the front sight insert, and that is the only basis to judge the height from.  It's a educated guess to change the height. 

I am not familiar with the Williams set up, so I don't know if it's practical to make them work, but with enough effort, and skill, just about anything can be made to work.  I would contact Williams to get that question answered.

I called williams and they said not that particular model. Mine has the protective hood over the front site. Bummer
