The Ak 5 is the current [[service rifle]] of the [[Swedish Armed Forces]], adopted in 1986, partially replacing the [[Ak 4]], a license-built version of the [[Heckler & Koch G3]]. In 2021, Sweden announced that they were looking to develop a new rifle in collaboration with [[Finland]], which would replace the Ak{{nbsp}}5.<ref>{{Cite web|last=B|first=Eric|date=2021-05-04|title=Sweden And Finland To Work Together To Procure New Service Rifle|url=https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2021/05/04/sweden-finland-service-rifle-together/|access-date=2021-05-04|website=The Firearm Blog|language=en-US}}</ref> In 2023 this rifle took shape as the new [[Automatkarbin 24]].
