I though about molding some sort of form fitted bottom as well. I couldn't come up with a feasible solution.
I ended up using some contractor shims I had left over from installing a door.
Just used some wood glue to bond two wedge shaped shims together to make a plank then cut the parts to fit and bonded them all together with wood glue. After sanding and painting it it's hard to tell they were once shims.
I then used spray adhesive to bond the felt to the wood frame. It all fits tightly into the box with no up and down movement.
I believe the felt mounted to pine is soft enough to not damage my pistol. The frame is very strong as well.
