Published: December 20, 2025 | Updated: December 20, 2025

How Much is My Beretta AR70 Worth?

The Beretta AR70 is a pre-ban Italian military-pattern rifle imported to the U.S. in limited numbers. Collectors value original configuration, correct markings, and overall condition, with documented pre-ban examples commanding strong demand.

Pre-ban pricing is driven by documented production era and how closely the rifle remains period-correct. Small details like markings, original parts, and finish can materially change value.

About the Beretta AR70

The Beretta AR70 was developed as a select-fire service rifle for the Italian military and later imported into the U.S. in semi-automatic configuration. Pre-ban civilian examples are scarce compared to later post-ban imports and modified variants. Original configuration, intact factory markings, and absence of permanent modifications are critical to collector value. Rifles that remain close to factory condition consistently outperform altered examples.

Beretta AR70 Pre-Ban Values & Variants

Pre-ban Beretta AR70 rifles are valued for their documented era and how closely they remain period-correct. Most examples range from $3,000 to $5,000, depending on originality, condition, and demand in restricted states.

Pre-ban note: Pre-ban status for the Beretta AR70 generally refers to documented importation before September 13, 1994. Original, verifiable examples remain desirable in both collector and restricted-state markets.

How to confirm your Beretta AR70 is pre-ban

  • Receiver markings and serial information
  • Overall configuration and major components
  • Signs of permanent modification or refinishing
  • Original accessories or documentation if available
  • General condition and finish quality

Tip: photos of receiver markings, overall configuration, and any documentation help us move faster and price more accurately.

Common Variants & Value Ranges

Pre-ban Beretta AR70 values vary based on originality and configuration. The ranges below reflect how collectors typically group these rifles in today’s market.

  • Standard configuration

    Original or mostly original configuration with correct components and no permanent modifications

    Estimated Value: $3,000 – $5,000

Factors That Influence Beretta AR70 Values

Original configuration:

Rifles that remain in factory-correct configuration consistently outperform modified examples. Correct furniture, barrel, and components materially affect collector demand.

Receiver markings & documentation:

Clear Beretta markings and documentation that support pre-ban import status strengthen value and buyer confidence.

Condition & finish:

Original finish with honest wear is preferred. Heavy cosmetic damage, corrosion, or refinishing can significantly reduce value.

Modifications & permanence:

Permanent modifications such as drilled receivers, aftermarket machining, or non-factory conversions typically lower collector interest.

Completeness & accessories:

Original magazines, accessories, boxes, or documentation can increase desirability and help support top-end pricing.

State-driven demand:

In states with feature restrictions, documented pre-ban AR70 rifles may sell faster and command stronger pricing compared to similar post-ban rifles.

Potential upside, but you wait for the sale, pay commissions and still carry uncertainty around final prices and timelines.
