Use for upright action holder

[Farrell]

I have been doing about the same thing. I simply slip a small diameter bolt
through the end screw holes, which in turn go throuhg the brackets on the
upright action holder. I slip on a rubber band to hold it there. My
arrangement kinda flops around a bit, but is usually A-OK for me. Your idea
will provide a much more positive attachment and a firm hold - certainly
advantageous. I also use mine to hold the repetition rail. Great for just
holding them up and swinging to pick out ones with flanges that are too
tight and too loose.
