Im thinking of either machining or making one out of wood. I have a pheniox so I can reference screw holes and such, but Im looking for the following:

-Overal length
-Height(Overal and Height of the part where it fits on the rail)
-Width(outside face to outside face)

Im sure its a 7/8 weaver style, and if anyone has even one of those measurments, please tell.

Why Wood? If this is for permanent use I don't think it would be that great of an idea. I don't believe it would hold up and stay accurate for you.

Im going to buy a peice of real hard wood and do it by hand. I dont use my xbow everyday either, so it is not in my interest to spend $30 for a peice of metal that could be made out of wood. I already have the tools to make it, so its just giving me something to do.

xeon,I had a crossbow 12 yrs. ago made by prolone out f hsrd maple, after a few shots you had to tighten allthe screws up, you couldnt main tain ay sort of consistent accuracy.too much vibration for screws into wood,loctite or glues did nothing.

You make a good point about the vibration. That was the only thing I was worried about. You wont get the bolt to grip in there very long... maby ill stop being cheap.
