The first versions of the Ak 5 family were made by the Swedish company [[Försvarets Fabriksverk|FFV Ordnance AB]] (later part of [[Saab Bofors Dynamics]]) under license from [[FN Herstal|FN]], with deliveries starting in 1986. This version of the Ak{{nbsp}}5 is still in the inventory of the Swedish Armed Forces, but is no longer issued to soldiers, having been replaced by the Ak{{nbsp}}5C and Ak{{nbsp}}5D. This version uses fixed [[iron sight]]s, and the Swedish Armed Forces have estimated that the maximum practical distance is 400 meters, but it can be used at longer ranges. This brings it in line with the [[M16 rifle|M16]], using the Swedish Armed Forces definition of maximum practical distance.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.forsvarsmakten.se/sv/Materiel-och-teknik/Vapen/Automatkarbin-5/ |title=Automatkarbin 5 - Försvarsmakten |accessdate=2010-04-19 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100822140445/http://www.forsvarsmakten.se/sv/Materiel-och-teknik/Vapen/Automatkarbin-5/ |archivedate=2010-08-22 }}</ref>

As issued, the Ak 5 did not have a [[bayonet]] lug. A bayonet lug adaptor (using the Ak{{nbsp}}4 bayonet) is fitted to some rifles for ceremonial duties, such as the [[Royal Guards (Sweden)|Royal Guards]] at the [[Stockholm Palace]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.gotavapen.se/gota/artiklar/sv_perm_baj/military/ak5baj.htm |title=Ak5 bayonet mount |access-date=2012-02-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101226021908/http://gotavapen.se/gota/artiklar/sv_perm_baj/military/ak5baj.htm |archive-date=2010-12-26 |url-status=live }}</ref>
