1. A mount for attaching a device to a firearm comprising:

  • a longitudinal base adapted to carry the device to be mounted and having a track extending along a portion of the length thereof;

    a block slidably mounted in said track;

    spring means for biasing said block toward one end of said base;

    first means mounted to said block for attachment to a first fixed member at one end of a firearm barrel; and

    second means for attaching the other end of said base to a second fixed member at the other end of the firearm barrel;

    whereby the device is mounted by attaching said first means to said first fixed member, sliding the base forward relative to said block until said second means is in a position to be attached to the second fixed member, aligning said second means with said second fixed member, and releasing said mount to cause the base to slide rearward with respect to the block in response to the biasing action of said spring means, thereby engaging said second means with said second fixed member.
