Abstract
A locking bolt is provided in a mount for receiving a gun barrel or other article. The locking bolt can be cammed relative to the mount from its normally locked position to an unlocked position to permit release of the gun barrel from the mount. The locking bolt is cammed to its unlocked position in response to direct engagement with a key inserted into an interior region of the mount and rotated relative to the mount. Thus, the mount is formed to include a keyway configured to permit the key itself to impart motion to a locking bolt to unlock the mount.
