"Pipe dream" LOL

I thought I had a line on an Air Max 10, but the seller isn't responding anymore so I might get a slide from an Air Max Baron ($6 new at Wal-Mart). Elliott, did you say you had access to a band saw and belt sander? I think that would be ideal for cutting off both the HyperFire grip and the Baron slide; then a drill press for the hole through the slide.

Then epoxy putty (and possibly a strip of polycarbonate?) to glue the slide to the blaster...?

EDIT: There may be a further complication - it may not be sufficient to have the same thick rod pass through the slot. Even IF (a big if) that slot is wide enough for the rod, that little spring has a loop at one end that is only large enough for that original slide pin. 😞 😨

How do we get around that? I'd much prefer to have a sprung slide return instead of a loose one while primed...
