Thanks for the forum, guys. I've been trying to find
some data on the G3 clone receiver, especially the
aluminum ones (ala Federal Arms) as they seem to
lean towards the AR series. I understand they pin
the barrel assembly to the receiver (two each, one
upper & one lower. What kind of shear forces are
we dealing with at that junction? I understand that
the FAL/L1A1 series have a longer reported service
life than the G3/91 series, supposedly due to the
stamped sheetmetal as opposed to using forged or
(more so now) cast receivers. Any feedback on this
subject matter would be extremely instructive. Finn
