Abstract
The subject of the invention is a fastening device for a muzzle mirror at one end of an artillery gun barrel, device comprising a mirror support incorporating at least two flanges encircling the gun barrel and connected to one another by a first linking means. In this device the flanges are housed in a groove made in the barrel and are linked in rotation to said barrel by means of an obstacle, such as a pin, such device also comprising a centering collar constituted by at least two jaws connected by a second linking means, such collar having a tapered support co-operating with a matching tapered support arranged on the flanges such that tightening the second linking means ensures both the axial and radial retention of the flanges.
