Was going to buy a yavapai slide holder then realized I could make one and it would be a good milling project. Had a chunk of 7075 lying around so I pulled out a slide made some measurements and started cutting.
Here's how it turned out.
I probably should have got a piece that went the length of the frame but I think this'll be OK.
There will be a disc of aluminum and a Delrin plug that push up on the rear of the slide and the Delrin insert that goes on the front of the slide.
So a fun milling project for those of us just starting out (or too cheap to buy the holder )
