Actually, this ignores files of those exact sizes, you need to use
find dir -size +3999c -and -size -6001c -ls
To test, create two files of exact size 4000 and 6000 bytes...
perl -e "print 'y'x4000" >x4000
perl -e "print 'y'x6000" >x6000
ls -l x*
-rw------- 1 root root 4000 Nov 2 12:53 x4000
-rw------- 1 root root 6000 Nov 2 12:53 x6000
