#Ak4D

POTD, short for Photo Of The Day, is TFB’s daily article series where we try to find pictures that will entertain and educate you. Did you know that credit for the first-ever color photograph taken goes to the mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell? At a lecture in 1861, he unveiled what is to be considered the first durable color photograph. It certainly sounds like an interesting lecture.

Photo Of The Day: Today we have an excellent photo of the Swedish Ak4D, which is an upgraded Ak4B with a stock and handguard from Spuhr Ltd. As you may know, these upgrade kits can be bought if you own a G3 or a clone. The sight is an Aimpoint CompM5 (called RPS 18) and most likely a 3x Aimpoint magnifier. You can also see the B&T Atlas bipods. It’s interesting to see how many different configurations this oldtimer from Heckler & Koch comes in.

The current sniper rifles in the Swedish Army are the PSG90 and the AG90. The AG90 is the Barret M82 in .50 BMG and the PSG90 is made by Accuracy International in .308 Win. The M82 is more of an anti-material rifle than a sniper rifle.
