I do not believe it will fit. I just saw an LWRC front flip back up sight this weekend and I see the positioning of the detent you're referring to now.
Our front AR sights have 5 notches. If you are looking down from a birds eye view and imagining a compass, where the tritium is at 180 degrees. The notches are at 0, 72, 144, 216, 288. All equally spaced out.

That 288 degree position on our front sight is probably going to be a hair off of what the LWRC is set at which seems to be perfectly 315. (bisecting that upper left quadrant exactly)
