Hi Ronald, yes sir, this will accept 7.62 ammunition. Actually, .308 is the higher pressure, so it will fire both with no issues.
Stay safe & have a great day!

Yes, 7.62 NATO is the lower pressure round compared to .308 unlike the .223 Remington vs. 5.56 NATO situation.

Hi Ronald and welcome. Yes Sir but. .308 is higher pressure than the 7.62 x 51 NATO round. It is the opposite in that 5.56 NATO is higher pressure than .223. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
