Abstract

See full text

A firearm having a fixed magazine uses a latch to secure upper and lower receivers to one another in a closed position. The upper and lower receivers can be pivoted relatively to one another into an open position providing access to the magazine for loading by rotating the latch to release the upper and lower receivers from one another. The latch includes a hook spring biasing a hook contact surface of the latch to engage a hook receiving surface of a receiver when the receivers are moved from the open position to the closed position.
