If you have mj4 I don't believe a downgrade is possible
Though you can downgrade from mi5 no problem.

The stock mi3 file is still up at the Samsung update website. I don't remember the link at the moment.

Oh OK thanks bro... I tried to revert once before and it always fails in Odin... Just making sure it wasn't me doing something wrong and that it just wasn't possible

If you're on mj4, you cannot go back to any previous version.
Yup I knew that was previously the case, and was pretty sure there was no workaround.

I hate when they do cap like that to the bootloader.

I'm going to take that as confirmation, as I knew back when mj4 first came out and I was maintain a Knox safe root thread. There were a few issues of people tripping Knox Even on a complete stock uprooted phone attempting to downgrade to run the Vega files.

Just hadn't looked into it since then wasn't sure someone hadn't worked around it.

Though why you would want to go back to mi3 is another question.

Yup, there are a few stock mj4 options (with or without root)

Check the development section.

I personally usually use Odin to flash the full official Samsung mj4 tar.
