Should there be any discussion on the previous model the was made at BRNO the 98-22?

Perhaps in its own article. This one is about the Vz24 Kriegaffe 13:10, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Naming

I have moved (and I have done so several times before) this page to vz. 24, with space between vz. and 24, which is correct form of designation Czech and Slovak arms models. I don't know why Echo5charlie's reference Military Mausers of the World (which is not correctly cited source, while he did not cited author's name etc.) uses wrong form, but probably it's due to author's bad knowledge of Czechoslovak designation system and therefore I strongly recommend the Czech-language source, which is one of the most renown works about Czechoslovak rifles and their designation. Perhaps even, in the worst eventuality, we may move the page to vzor 24, which is more official way of designation, and remains away the problem "space between dot and number yes/no". --ja_62 12:29, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is a VTLU code?

I think it would be ideal to define a "VTLU code" Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.233.178.253 (talk) 14:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

In the article there is sentence "The VTLU code was an inspection and acceptance stamp" which is quite clear, I suppose. VTLU is Czech acronym for "Vojenský technický a letecký ústav" - (Military technical and aviation institute) which was responsible for inscpecting and acceptance marking of weapons aquired for Czechoslovak army, but I personally don't see the point to explain this to detail, I think that explaining different codes in different acceptance locations (E1 to E8) in the article is quite enough . --ja_62 08:15, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
With all due respect, you've (and others) have written a great article. My point is the article states "The VTLU code was an inspection and acceptance stamp" and as a reader my natural question is "who did the inspection and who accepted it?" and which lead me to ask "what or who is the VTLU"
You did a nice job on the talk page here answering those questions I had. I think the article would be improved if you added a sentence or two and clarify that for the reader. It's not a long article and it's very informative.
I own a few BRNO rifles which bear some of these proof (E3) markings so as a reader I was highly interested in qualifying what the VTLU is/was. And thanks for that answer BTW. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.187.190.208 (talk) 05:14, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
I've made only minor edits in terminoloy etc., my contribution to the article is not so important. In case of VTLU acronym explanation - I'll take some time to think out how to make some notice about VTLU code meaning, while the article is still quite short, and I'd found it superfluous to write too long explanation of this detail (in comparison to the whole length of the article).---ja_62 12:22, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
That's a nice improvement, Ja 62. Thanks very much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.187.190.208 (talk) 04:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
