Rear part of a musket (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

breech

(Other definitions for breech that I've seen before include "Describing a delivery in which the baby is inverted" , "seat" , "Back end of a gun barrel" , "(Half of) lower garment" , "Opening in the barrel of a gun to load bullets" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
