NO. Note: Others will disagree

The cartridges are slightly dimensionally different and do not headspace the same. The .308 Winchester Cartridge operates at considerably higher pressures than the 7.62.51 NATO.

NO, The lower receiver is not large enough to accommodate the .308 Winchester/7.62×51 Cartridge
