The Beretta-produced SC70/90 is the carbine version of the AR70/90 rifle. The SC70/90 features a folding tubular metal butt and is also featured in another form known as the SCS70/90, that form accepting the mounting of an under-barrel grenade launcher. Design of the 70/90 system as a whole appeared after an Italian Army requirement for an all-new service rifle. In all respects, the 70/90 system is a further development of the previous 70/223 model produced by Beretta, albeit without some of the deficiencies inherent in that system.

The SC70/90 is a magazine-fed ambidextrous system firing the standard 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge. The weapon is fed from a 30-round detachable box magazine and can be operated from either side even with the butt folded down. Though produced as early as 1985 by Beretta, the 70/90 system was not approved for military service until the early 1990's.
