@Jimmy I would counterweight the rocket by filling the nose cone with clay or something easy to pack in there to that it flies straighter out of the barrel Don't fill the nosecone with clay as it'll make it nose heavy and even more likely to tumble/point down before ignition making it extremely dan...

I'm thinking for fittings around 4", which when your the other side of the pond they cost a bomb.

So when you test it you should put it under alot of shock as if your firing it. (I'm talking about chamber testing here) But only enough shock to test it...

<snip>@Gepard Increased shock isn't such a great idea, as it weakens the gun for the next time you use it. Although, what you are describing probably isn' that big a deal. <snip> I disagree I think for testing you should create as much as stress as possible short of damaging it. Everytime you fire ...

I test all my things at 125psi first time.....if you use water there's no risk and you can cycle the pressure much quicker which increases the shock to the materials.

What you trying to hold? And what size?

If you can hold it from the inside then you can use two blocks of wood and clamp a piece fo rubber between them. Then if you tighten it the rudder will hold the piece whilst the wood should take up the force.
