The 30.5 cm Mantel Ring Kanone L/35 was a 30.5 cm 35 caliber long Krupp gun. It was a further development of the earlier 30.5 cm MRK L/22. There were multiple models: The early model was basically a lengthened 30.5 cm MRK L/22. The later model had a heavier barrel and used a heavier charge for a higher muzzle velocity.
