The securing of the rest of the action is a bugger too. Its doing it without damaging that worries me.
As long as that bar is a good, snug fit, Mike, and any action parts are protected, you'll be fine. You might get away with a helper holding the action - it'd be a good idea for them to wear thick gloves or wrap the action in a thick cloth so as to isolate their arms from the shock, though.
