sling (nylon) Fire selector on both sides of the rifle. The Aimpoint CS red dot sight with a 4 MOA red dot reticle was chosen as the standard optical sight for the Ak5C. Other day or night aiming optics can also be mounted on the MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail system. There has been some confusion about the M203 grenade launcher. While the Ak5C is prepared to accept the launcher, the correct designation (translated from Swedish) would be "Ak 5[version] with grenade attachment" for the combination. The bayonet-lug adapter for the Ak4 bayonet is not used with the Ak5C. Instead a new bayonet for ceremonial use only was issued to the troops. This bayonet is attached to the 6 o'clock rail on the hand guard. The Ak 5C is now the standard-issue rifle of the Swedish armed forces, and production of the A and B versions are currently discontinued and existing stock put in storage. Bofors Ak 5D The Ak 5D has a shortened barrel and handguard. It also features the MIL-STD-1913 rail system for easy mounting of a variety of sights. Due to the smaller dimensions of the carbine, the Ak 5D is especially suited for ranger/urban warfare units and vehicle crews who often benefit from a more lightweight and compact weapon when taking into account the nature of their assignments and the environments in which they often operate. The Swedish Police have used a version of the Ak5D; see below. The newest Ak 5D Mk2 version has the same upgrades as the "C" model but retains the shorter barrel. CGA5P Some units of the Swedish Police have used a special version of the Ak 5D called CGA5P or sometimes (incorrectly) Ak5DP. Essentially it is a black (instead of the regular military green) Ak5D with automatic fire capability disabled by a hex screw, which can be removed if automatic fire is needed. Unlike the Ak5D, the police version has fixed sights but is still equipped with the MIL-STD-1913 rail system to allow the use of telescopic sights or red dot sights. Unlike its military counterparts (except for the Ak5C/D versions), the police version has safety catches on both sides of the weapon.
