Receiver for .308 build was created by jtallen83

I'm thinking of trying to put my own rifle together.I have some gunsmithing experience but not with the AR platforms. While looking for parts I got an interesting response about whether a certain receiver would fit the bill for me;
"I am a gunsmith, and I have built my most resent ar 10 with this upper if you would like to see a picture of the one i used wich is the same as the one i am selling please send me your email and i will send you the pic. the ar 10 bolt fits perfectly into this upper and what alot of people do not know is that you can fit 308 rounds into a 5.56 mm 30rd mag perfectly"
I never heard of using 5.56 magazines for .308, is this all hot air as I suspect? I'll post a picture if he sends it. Here is a link to the part.

Yep, several shovels full.

Ask for a pic of the .308 ammo in the AR15 mag. I'd love to see that. better yet, a video of him firing it that way.
