Forward Closure

The portion of the motor which seals the top end; in single use motors this is glued in; in reloadable motors it is typically an aluminum housing that either screws into the case (AT style) or is held in with a snap ring (Kosdon style); in motors K and below, this closure usually provides for an intergral black powder ejection charge.
