If you mean that one, that is an ex iranian artillery piece (made by North Korea) called Koksan m1978 and it has a naval 170 mm gun. It is not a D-30 gun.

Ah, Ok, thanks for the clarification. It is one mean looking mother though.

How about this...albeit it does look East African.

WE HAVE A WINNER !
Thanks Jason.

I probably Goggled that 30 times w/ no joy.
Apparently I did not recall correctly (Shocking - No Not Really) and thought it was a D30 not a 130mm.
And that was enough for Google to shut me out (which kind of surprise me as I thought the Google was Omnipotent)...
