Summary
[edit]DescriptionFFV 890C AM.006351.jpg |
Svenska: Automatkarbin FFV 890C. Tillverkad av Försvarets Fabriksverk (FFV).
Kaliber 5,56 × 45 mm NATO , tillverkningsnr. 0833, längd med infälld kolv 625 mm. Vapnet är försett med hålsikte, fällbara mörkerriktmedel, fällbar kolv samt en flamdämpare med diameter 22 mm anpassad för skjutning av gevärsgranater. För skjutning används en stjärnstrypt drivpatron. Riktmedel: Hålsikte inställbart för 300 m och 500 m, stolpkorn samt mörkerriktmedel. Mekanisk eldhastighet ca 650 skott/min. Huvudsakligen utvecklad åren 1979-1980. Inspirerad av den israeliska automatkarbinen Galil-ARM och SAR och ambitionen var att byta ut Ak 4 mot en ny karbin. Slutligen övergavs FFV 890C år 1985 till förmån för FN-FNC som Ak 5 byggde på. Totalt tillverkades färre än 1 000 FFV 890C-prototyper och ritningarna såldes till finska Valmet.
English: In the mid-1970s, despite the failure of the Nytt infanterivapen (New Infantry Weapon) program, the Swedish Armed Forces decided to continue to follow the general transition towards smaller calibre ammunition and directed the FMV (Defence Materiel Administration) to procure a suitable replacement for the Ak 4 capable of using 5.56 × 45mm NATO ammunition, which under STANAG 4172 is a standard cartridge for NATO forces as well as many non-NATO countries. The weapon was required to be highly reliable in the subarctic climate of northernmost Sweden, as well as being easy to handle and maintain, while meeting a certain minimum level of accuracy.
From 1975 the FMV evaluated and tested the Colt M16A1, Stoner 63A1, ArmaLite AR-18, Steyr AUG, Beretta M70, IMI Galil, FN FNC, FN CAL, SIG 540, HK33 and the FFV 890C (a Swedish Galil variant) 5.56×45mm NATO assault rifles. The FN FNC and FFV 890C were tested in 1979-1980 at infantry regiment I11 in Växjö. After further testing from 1981-1985 the FMV eventually chose the Belgian FN FNC. Less than a thousand 890C-rifles were produced by Förenade Fabriksverken (United Factory Works, FFV). The specimen in the photo is part of the Swedish Army Museum collections. |
