What is the pin above the gas tube hole used for?

Answered by Thisguyoverhere, member, from OR, United States, on June 16, 2020

The hole on top of the gas tube is for an anti rotation pin when using a JL Billet handguard. Pay close attention to this upper, it has flared areas behind the barrel nut threads and is not mil-spec. Only select handguards including the JL Billet rails will work without modifying the upper. I'm speaking from personal experience, I own several JL Billet lowers and uppers.

How will be the matching of this with JL non-skeletion 80% lower ?

Manufacturer Answer

Answered by JL Billet, Manufacturer from CA, United States, on November 27, 2024

They will match up, but the cosmetics are really intended to go with a JL SKLTR lower receiver.

Does anyone know what the lower is that is pictured? Actually looks like it's a very nice combination. Where can I find that lower?

Expert Answer

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 09, 2022

The lower receiver pictured is a JL Billet lower receiver. Unfortunately, we do not carry that specific lower.

Does this require an ffl

Expert Answer

Answered by Tom B, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on October 13, 2021

No, this product does not require an FFL. This is only for the upper. They are just showing it in the pictures with the lower, so the customers can see what it would look like together.

Does it have an area for a dust cover?

Answered by Thisguyoverhere, member, from OR, United States, on June 17, 2020

Yes the upper is fully compatible with dust covers but is a "slick side" upper and does not have a Forward Assist. I mentioned this in the other answer I left but pay close attention to the upper as it has flared areas directly behind the barrel nut threading and is not mil-spec meaning only select handguards will fit this upper without modifying the upper or handguard.
