Abstract
A spring closing assembly is disclosed which is adapted to be selectively installed and removed from a firearm. The illustrated spring closing assembly includes a rod having a free forward end which defines a slot dividing the free forward end into fork prongs. The assembly also includes a spring mounted on the rod, and a projecting part located on a first one of the fork prongs. At least the first fork prong is resiliently displaceable in an inward direction. The assembly also includes a washer dimensioned to be forced onto the free end of the rod by inwardly displacing the first fork prong. At least one of the projecting part and the washer is chamfered to promote the inward displacement of the first fork prong. The washer is captured between the projecting part and the spring.
