Taking a quick glance at the new pics it would seem as if the sight was designed to accommodate the width of the rail on the receiver when it was laying down, however it looks as if its circular shape on the sides is preventing it from going all the way down. Something does not seem right and Im going cross eyed staring at these pictures.
By chance do you know anyone else with an armalite that you could try mounting it to to see what happens? Preferably a different brand if possible.

Hey Tokyo, based on my observations, I think there are 2 problems: 1. the end of the rail is obstructing the sight from being flat/the circle thing is too big to be folded down; 2. the width of the sight is not wide enough. I can see where the rail makes contact with the sight as its being folded down.
From all the pictures I have googled, everyone can fold down their sight completely flat. I can bring it to Huang's and try it on his armalites, but other than that, im out of ideas
I think the CA armalites has one less rail at the back. If this rail was present, the sight would fold down perfectly.
