Matching numbers are present on the left side of the upper and lower assemblies. CONDITION: Excellent, with metal components retaining virtually all of their original factory applied finish, save for a few superficial handling marks and small areas of silvering from disassembly. Mirror bore, exhibiting well defined rifling throughout. Black polymer furniture is excellent, exhibiting few minor marks from handling and storage. Due to the huge commercial success of Colt's AR-15, few examples of Beretta's AR70 rifles were imported into the United States, largely leading to its desirability among collectors today. MLW
