New Pig and Coyote Solution

I’ve noticed several people calling @Red Leg new rifle an AR 10. That is not quite correct.
The ruger SFAR (small frame AR) is more like an AR 15 than it is and AR 10 in size. The upper and lower receivers are smaller as is the bolt carrier group. The resulting rifle is much more compact and lightweight. I urge people to look into it, when considering a 308 semiautomatic.
POF has a couple models that are very similar.

I agree with what you are saying to an extent. But the term AR10 has just become a catch all for larger caliber MSR type platforms. I don't think there is any likelihood of getting people to stop using it as a common phrase now.

Not disagreeing with @Wyatt Smith but also agreeing if with you as a gun enthusiast with no access to Semi Autos these days I would loosely term them as AR15 and AR 10 having only seen a couple before the buyback.

My state did not allow them but neighbouring states sold them over the counter.

We still see semi autos advertised for sale to people who can get an occupational permit etc. Even the Remington R15 makes an appearance online. Wedgetail industries produce a Semi Auto in .308 in Australia with very restricted sales but government agencies opted for the imported SCAR for aerial shooters after trialling several options to replace the old L1A1 SLR
