You could do this on a drill press or in a pinch, in a shop vice.

+1 on the cone idea. Lately I've been making quite a few firearms related mounts and things using Delrin (also called Acetal, it comes in black and white) VERY easy to machine and the white has a natural lubricity to help it slide. Will most likely have to also make a socket-type fixture to support the frame while being pressed to prevent further damage. While the pieces could be made in under an hour (shop time averages $70-100 per hr), Delrin is not cheap, maybe $15-20 for a suitable piece from a supplier.
