The Beretta SCS-70 is a specialized carbine variant of the AR-70, developed for Italian Special Forces and featuring a short 12.7-inch barrel and folding stock. It shares some design elements with the M16, including a safety selector quirk. The SCS-70 served until 1990, when it was replaced by the AR-70/90 series.
The Beretta AR70, specifically the 70/223 model, is a rare European 5.56 rifle developed from a Beretta-SIG collaboration. It features a unique recoil system located above the barrel, allowing for folding stocks, and uses stamped sheet metal construction. Adopted by Italian Special Forces, Jordan, and Malaysia, its successor, the AR70/90, improved modularity and magazine compatibility.
