It was developed from the German Mauser Gewehr 98 line, and features a similar bolt design. The rifle was designed in Czechoslovakia shortly after World War I, to replace the Vz. 98/22, also a Czech derivative of the Gewehr 98. The vz. 24 featured a 590 mm (23.2 in) barrel which was shorter and considered more manageable than the 740 mm (29.1 ...
The also rare 8×64mm S cartridge offers a comparable rechambering option for Mauser Gewehr 98 and Karabiner 98k rifles sporting 8mm S-bores. Due to its larger case capacity the 8×64mm S chambering offers better ballistic performance than the 8×60mm S. Some custom rifles were made using Mauser 98's and rechambering them for the 9×57mm Mauser.
By 1935 a license to produce repeating rifles of the Mauser Model 98 system has been acquired, production would go on until the early 1940s mid-war.

The widespread availability of standard-size Mauser 98 rifles in central Europe and the fact that the .375 H&H Magnum cartridge and its necked-down version the .300 H&H Magnum with approximately 72.4 mm case length and 91.4 mm (3.60 in) overall length were too long to fit in standard-sized Mauser 98 bolt-action rifles made the shorter 9.3×64mm ...
The K98a also used a small-ring Mauser action, which complicated the production process. Following the postwar shift to large-ring carbines with 600 mm barrels and Gewehr 98-style bayonet lug/muzzle lengths, such as the Czechoslovak vz. 24, the decision was made to develop an intermediate model rifle for the Polish Army. The design was ...
