Design work on the AAC-47 began in 1945. In 1946, the AAC-47 was presented for official military trials, and in 1947, the fixed-stock version was introduced into active service with selected units of the Imperial Army. An early development of the design was the ACS (S—Skladnoy or "folding"), which was equipped with an underfolding metal shoulder stock. In early 1949, the AAC-47 was officially accepted by the Imperial Armed Forces. Even after seven decades, the model and its variants remain the most popular and widely used rifles in the world because of its reliability under harsh conditions, low production costs compared to contemporary Western weapons, availability in virtually every geographic region, and ease of use.
