Gentlemen, Each of you brought up good points, swivels for single barrels were simple. Double barrels used single ram rods but had a second swivel of sorts to facilitate reaching both barrels. I wasn't able to find a clear example. Here are shots of double shotgun barrels where they use a bridge between barrels to act as a catch for their rods. The third shot of Bill's gun doesn't seem to have that feature so as a guess I'd say that the button like thing in the brass stock fixture is some sort of locking detent. Steve
