Quote HistoryQuoted: I've only seen one airsoft SC70/90. Be as hard to find as a real stock. If you have a line on one please let me know! Will check. I’m not into airsoft but I know it a rare item.. may be a bit more popular over here |

Frens - What would be the correct sling, bayonet, mag pouches for the AR70/90?
I have some tan colored 3 mag pouches for NATO 30 rd mags that are made in Italy - have no idea if they are for AR70/90 or ARX160 series or both? |

I’m not a beretta expert but if I recall correctly the GI sling is a 2 or 3 point sling with metal hooks.. similar to the one used by the PM12 or Spas12.
As for mag pouch I’ve seen domestic made clones of the American LC2 pouches with buckle closure as well as IDF style pouches with Velcro closure. Standard gear is OD but tan stuff was made as well. The bayonet is based on the M1 carbine one.. Italian bayos also have a S/N (not matched to the rifle). Here’s a good source for pics and info (in Italian) https://www.collezionareexordinanza.it/scheda/74/BERETTA-AR70-90/ ETA: these are the parts

Worked on the SC stock today. Made a mount and welded the XCR folding mechanism to it, then drilled the stock for helicoils (1/4x20) and attached it to the folding mech. Still needs lots of work to blend everything together and smooth out the stock. Hopefully get that all done this weekend. Thinking about adding the XCR rubber butt pad but don't know yet. Pretty happy with it so far.

Finished the SC stock today. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Adapter is made of steel, with the XCR folding mechanism welded to it and blended in. It attached to the aluminum stock with 1/4x20 button head bolts and anchored in with helicoils. The XCR butt pad was a no-go. Still have to make one out of rubber or some type of plastic. I also drilled out several inches of the top tube to lighten it up. Stripped stock weighs 5oz. Lock up is tight and had to shave more off the left safety selector. You can still see where I used jb weld to fill in the mold shrinkage. But overall I think it looks close to the original.

Thanks for the comments.
Here's a couple buttplate candidates. The white is some type of hard teflon or delrin we use at work on carts so aircraft skins don't get scratches. The black is some kind of hard flexible rubber. Now. Has anyone dyed hard plastic like the white piece? I don't know if paint will stick to it. Should be able to work on them Thurs or Friday.

Receiver flats and some of the internals are available other places. Dunno if you get banned here for posting links to sellers. I'm working on my kit, but my build thread is not on this site but over at militaryfirearm.com
Katzma, are you planning to build the SBR SCP70/90 version, or just the SC70/90?   |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Saw that. I'm #85 on his list. He said receiver kit will likely be around $350. I imagine the barrel will be the difficult part to find Looks like he will be doing barrels too. For sale is stamped 80% receiver for the Beretta AR70. Comes with drawing. This auction is for the AR70 full receiver section only. This receiver will not fit the AR70/90. Shipping will be $10... As you can see in the pics I now have AR70/90 full 80% receiver section coming up for sale soon. We will also have the rails, rear trunnion , trunnion repair tabs, and barrels for sale. 80% Receiver , rails , rear trunnion are projected to be available in large quantities some time in January. A few barrels will be available as well (maybe 10) As barrel blanks are not available at this time. Barrels will be available in sufficient quantities around May. Receivers once assembled will not accept a lower receiver with the auto sear and will not allow a bolt with the auto trip lug to be installed, both will need to be removed. |

Wish we had more info on who the seller is. I am also interested in who will produce the semi auto parts that we will need for the trigger housing as well as the bolt.
As per my earlier comment a few pages back....do we have any idea how many AR 70/90 parts kits were brought into the country? |

Quote HistoryIf you look a little closer, all of the modern twist blanks in .223 are sold out. I believe they have been for a while. All that’s left are 1/12 and 1/14 blanks. I was actually considering making some basic AR-70/90 barrels to sell, but the lack of blanks has put the brakes on that idea. |

Looks like the tightest twist you can get is 1:9" right now. Not surprising, given the current run - much like Sandy Hook. Ordered a .458 SOCOM upper from Rock River (MFBUT) and it took more than a year to get it in b/c no one was making .458 bolts.

He said I was #85 on his list and should he available end of January-ish. Think his initial run is 100 sets. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: What list do you speak of? I'm on some list. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Galil bbls would be a scarce item in normal times. Blanks are available. How hard is a Galil bbl to make? In years past, they actually were not too hard to find. With parts kits coming in semi-regularly for a while, It’s not a particularly complex barrel. But there is some metric threading to contend with. It’s fairly slender, but that’s not really that difficult to deal with, just a consideration. The journal for the gas block is a press fit, so obviously tolerance on that section is kinda tight. So all in all, not particularly difficult. |
