The barrel end of a gun (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

butt

I believe this is a triple definition!

'the barrel' is the first definition.
(butt is a kind of barrel)

'end' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'of' is a link.

'a gun' is the third definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for butt that I've seen before include "Hit with the head; object of ridicule" , "Cigar end" , "Scapegoat - strike - bottom - barrel" , "at 16 down [MAN UNITED]" , ""bottom" to US" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
