The guns taking part in the current US Army carbine competition have to meet a tight weight limit (7 lbs or so) and have been pared down as a result. I have examined and handled the HK candidate, and although based on the HK 416 it is significantly lighter.
I presume therefore that current 7.62mm weapons could be similarly pared down, especially to handle a smaller and less powerful cartridge.
