Kentucky Armory Club

Just acquired this.

Beretta AR70. From what I can tell less than 2000 were imported into the US. Does anyone else have any info on these? Any help is appreciated!

If anyone has any info on touching this up it would be appreciated. Someone told me Aluminum Black birchwood Casey would be good.

I remember seeing a few of these in the late 80's I guess it was. Spend the money for the M16 Mag adapter . Thought they looked about as cool as the AR180. Something different but was wary of the parts issue.

I remember Rays had a couple (on Preston Hgwy) in the 80's.
Very well made but if memory serves correct, you cant shoot 5.56 through them.

Correct only .223. Miss that place although I was only a young kid. My father still talks to the owner on occasion.

It was right across from where Roosters is now before he moved to Kiln Ct and started the range there. It's some sort of car accessory place now.

Edit: he purchased from Rays and also the owner of another store down Preston that use to be across from Labor World is the guy he still talks to.
