I think they should just change the caliber, not the AR platform. The AR's only true weakness is it's cartridge. An AR in .308 is too heavy, so why not go with the 6.8 Rem SPC, or 6.5 Grendel? Because of all the surplus ammo out there. Solution: Sell off the surplus 5.56 ammo in the civilian market to all the people with AR15's, and adopt the new cartride. I think the AR15 platform is the best so far as balance, design, modularity, etc. go. Just change the stupid cartridge. It drives me nuts that they will go through hundreds of millions of dollars to change rifle platforms, when all they have to do is change the cartridge, bbl, bolt, and mags.
