Patent ID: 8122634

Claim:
A method of assembling a striker assembly for a firearm, comprising the steps of: providing a generally cylindrical body having a first distal end, a middle portion, and a second distal end; providing a cap having a recess and an aperture; sliding a coaxial spring onto said middle portion from said second distal end toward said first distal end; sliding a spacer having a first side and a second side from said second distal end toward said first distal end; sliding a snap ring from said second distal end toward said first distal end; sliding the cap over said second distal end of said body, said spacer, and said snap ring until said cap abuts said coaxial spring, said cap having the aperture with an internal diameter equal to the largest diameter of said second distal end of said body; and pushing said cap toward said first distal end of said body so that said second distal end of said body passes through said aperture of said cap until said coaxial spring abuts an annular ring on said first distal end, said first side of said spacer abuts a ridge on said second distal end, said snap ring engages a circumferential groove in said second distal end of said body and secures said second side of said spacer.
