Abstract
There is disclosed a field gun that may be converted between a firing condition and a travelling condition. In the firing condition, front legs and back legs rest on the ground and support the gun. In the travelling condition, the back legs are out of contact with the ground and the front legs are retracted towards the gun chassis. To facilitate conversion, a link joins a front leg to a back leg so that as the back leg is lifted off the ground, the front leg is retracted.
