Overview
Overview
It remained in the Red Army inventory, but from early 1930s was being gradually replaced by newer 152-mm gun M1910/30 and 152-mm gun M1910/34 and was retired for good after the 152-mm howitzer-gun model 1937 (ML-20) was adopted. A few guns were captured by Finland in the Civil War. Those pieces were also apparently used in the Winter War and the Continuation War. Surviving pieces can be seen in Hämeenlinna and Suomenlinna Artillery Museums, Finland, in the military museum in Brussels, Belgium and in several French fortresses. • Illustration — 6-inch siege gun M1904 in Hämeenlinna Finnish Artillery Museum.
