Of course you are right; silly me. I was too quick to react.
The hunting escopetas with only half stock and no pipes for the ramrod. I once had one of those, but i don't remember if the ramrod was complete and what the solution was.
Well, it gets through somehow; no magic, right?
Does the stock have enough mass so that the rod passes close to the tang screw and continues down to the butt in a slight angle ?
