If this isn't a recruiting poster, it should be.The AR-70 replaced the old Beretta BM-59, basically a M-1 Garand with a detachable magazine. This model is in 5.56mm NATO instead of the old .308 used by the BM-59. "Model" meaning the rifle, not the paratrooper, of course.
Say, that is a pretty good recruiting poster!
