Britain
4"/40 (10.2 cm) QF Mark VI and Mark X
Updated 12 February 2012
The Mark VI was an Elswick gun of Pattern "S" originally built for Chile.  The Mark X was a single Elswick gun of Pattern "Q" similar in design and performance to the Mark VI.  The Mark X was probably never used afloat.

Mark VI constructed of A tube, breech piece and B tube, wire over the breech piece, full length jacket, breech ring and breech bush screwed into the breech piece.  Used a screw breech block whose design was similar to that for the QF Mark III.  A total of 29 Mark VI guns were manufactured.
