-Would have to be fired in a AR-10 (much heavier than an AR-15) or another battle rifle already chambered in .308 leading to either a weight or versatily issue in comparison to the AR-15.

Doesn't DPMS make an AR-15 based .243?
FWIW though, you can buy a .50 BMG upper for an AR-15, though the rifle would be a single shot.

It would be an AR-10. A .308 case will fit in a AR-15 magazine with about 1/4" to spare,the AR-15 just isn't long enough for a .308 parent case.

Sure looks like an AR15 to me.
