The 30.5 cm Mantel Ring Kanone L/22 was a 30.5 cm 22 caliber long Krupp Mantel Ring Kanone (MRK). It was a rifled breech loader built-up gun with a Krupp cylindroprismatic sliding breech. It was a further development of the earlier 30.5 cm RK L/22 that Krupp had developed and exhibited at the 1873 Vienna World's Fair.
