I thought a primer might be helpful for others like myself who aren't experts on SH lingo, slang, verbology, acronyms, and abbreviations:
1) ZCO is AT and I don't mean AI-AT (No AI doesn't mean Ackley Improved in this usage) The "AT" is for Austria, a.k.a. AUT. (No, Australia is AU or AUS, )
2) TT is CA as in Can (Not "can" as in suppressor) and not CA/Calif nor CA/Chromatic Aberration (Not TT/Trigger Tech of CA/Can, nor TT/True Temper)
3) SB is DE as in Germany unless you're talking about the other SB then it's CZ (no not CZ guns of CZ)
4) LRI/Long Rifles Inc is CD of SD/South Dakota not to be confused with LRF/Laser Range Finder
5) MPA (not MPI/Metallic Particle Inspection) is GA, not to be confused with GAP of MO nor to be confused with MDT of CA.
6) Barrett is not to be confused with Beretta nor BT/Brugger Thomet
7) SF/SureFire is CA/Calif and not CA/Can, although SF does make CANS/Suppressors. SF is not to be confused with SF/Surefeed mags nor SF/Special Forces. (*SoF is NOT to be confused with SF*)
8) SD is a bullet specification and not SD/South Dakota except when SD is South Dakota
9) MT/Montana is a great place but MT/MagTech isn't great ammo
10) 7.62 is NATO except when it's x54 or x39- then it's Rusky
11) Lowlight is Frank Galli not to be confused with the light conditions term lowlight, nor to be conflated with the Galli family of Brooklyn NY
12) Zeiss is Zeiss except when Leica also means Zeiss. But Zeiss almost never means Leica
13) Aimpoint is not to be confused with the sighting term Point Of Aim/POA
14) BO means Badger Ordnance not Barrack Obama
-------- More will be added --------
