Lightbulb It could be no other way

I have contacted someone in Spain well connected to Spanish weaponry.

Here is his comment:

Ocasionalmente he encontrado escopetas como las que me describe, de media caña con el baquetero taladrado hasta introducirse en la culata, pero siempre ha sido para baquetas de hierro, con alguna flexibilidad, no recuerdo ninguna de madera, como la de la fotografía... lo que esta fuera de discusión, es que si la baqueta tiene la longitud apropiada para empujar la carga hasta la recámara, y en una escopeta de media caña no sobresale del baquetero, es que el baquetero atraviesa la garganta del arma y se prolonga por la culata, sin que ello interfiera en el funcionamiento de la llave...
diría yo...


Meaning that ...
Exmples of half stocked guns with the ramrod penetrating all the way through the stock butt are those offten seen with the rod made of an iron, so that its flexibility easily bypasses the lock function and tang bolt. Although the ramrod in the example shown here is made of wood, it is out of discussion that it has to be long enough to push the load down to the chamber, so the principle of its introduction into the stock should be the same.
