Part of a firearm (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

breech

(Other definitions for breech that I've seen before include "seat" , "Part of firearm - type of birth" , "Rear opening to a gun barrel" , "Opening for loading a gun" , "Back part of a gun barrel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Independent.
