Don't know how old this is, still I'm passing it on . From DSA FAL SAFETY NOTICE - SAFETY NOTICE - SAFETY NOTICE
Dear valued customers and shooting public:
This notice is to inform you of the potential hazard of using a .308 / 7.62mm caliber FAL receiver fabricated out of aluminum. Some of you have called and asked us to provide barrel and headspacing services on this new Aluminum FAL type upper receiver manufactured by Williams Arms Co. Many of you had also wished to purchase our lightweight alloy components to assemble an ultra light FAL. We respectfully refused to provide you with these services. Regretfully, this has angered some of you. The following test result, photos and data are the main reason we refused to provide these services to you.

That's old..... at least 2 years ago but sound advice nonetheless. Those WAC alumabomb recievers are unsafe at .308 pressures. They are not made anymore & not many are still out there.
