Wikipedia is my 'friend' sometimes.

40mm L/70 mount - 2400Kg, or 4800Kg gun and Field Carriage.

I have found another site (navweaps.com) that indicates that it's 2870 Kg for the 1958 SAK Naval mounting.

Yes, the issue is that the MCDV's used the "Boffin" Mark VC mounting, which was a powered twin 20mm Oerlikon mounting from WWII that was converted over to use a single 40mm L/60 gun. Relatively obscure system that I have been unable to pin down a weight figure for. That being said, the weight margin for the MCDVs might already have been used up on something else at this point. With the RCN not moving forward with even a .50 cal RWS for the MCDV's, it seems like a 30mm gun would be even lower priority.
