The gun was developed in 1927 by the design bureau of Orudiyno-Arsenalny Trest (OAT) and entered production in 1928.

The Germans placed captured guns into service as the 7.62 cm Infanteriekanonehaubitze 290(r) (infantry gun-howitzer), while in the Finnish army they were known as 76 RK/27.

The gun was intended for destruction of light field fortifications and openly placed personnel by direct fire similarly to how 7.7 cm Infanteriegeschütz L/27 with similar weight and ballistics was used by German troops in WWI.

It was chambered for the same shell size as 76.2mm divisional guns, but with a reduced propellant charge.
