Maybe too soon to ask... But have you considered a production run of these?
Maybe first I want to get this one done and tested. Then if I do make a run it would most likely be a very limited run with a price to match the work that would have to go into one.
update to day is I screwed up. I bought some PEG plastic to use as the handle nice and clear easy to machine good stuff kinda. first mistake was I drilled one of the holes too deep so thats no good but since I had the holes I wanted to make sure the other components would work. when I first put the main guide rod in it slid really nice but after "cycling" it i started noticing it was starting to stick. Now I have not used the PEG plastic before so I thought that maybe the grease I was using was causing a reaction I cleaned it out really good with some soap and water only to find that its not the grease but the ID of the guide rod hole was already starting to wear So back to the drawing board for the handle material. I might have to go for the old stand buy of delrin but I bought some acrylic to try also.
So it was a slow day at work and I was looking at my design and came up with something better less parts less bulk easier to machine. The original design sill had all the parts of a standard cocker a lpr a 3 way all as different parts but I realized their is no need to have a transfer tube going to a distinct 3 way I could just use the guide rod as the 3 way core and remove the need for 2 parts. Also with that out of the way I was able to put the return spring back into the upper tube so their will also be less threading.

You could also try over boring and a press fit sleeve of something more durable. Or even linear bearings if you want to get fancy

I have no idea what any of that means and it's wonderful
