The Pivot end of the Benjy/Dan piston is made of a porous casting that soaks up lube and acts as a reservior. We do not manufacture a solid steel part to replace it.
We drill out the pin hole to 11/64ths,
Helicoil the hole the rod is pressed into
Thread the rod to 1/4"X28TPI
Polish the guide end to the finish you show
Set the length to Steroid specs
Align the guide end to minimize frictional drag
Install a hard pivot pin
We like it when people recognize the superiority of our products as the product speaks volumes about our attitude toward quality. Les McMurray was the one that would always say "Someone has to be the best".
To answer one of the questions posed. We don't need to replace the lever on the Rocker safety guns because it was an outstanding part. It was also the first part to be discontinued when Crosman purchased the Benjamin/Sheridan enterprise. That is what prompted us to start manufacturing Billet levers. It was a part that was overbuilt like our Billet lever.
We do add the bushing the new guns have between the sheet metal sides to add support if it isn't already fitted with one, install our hard pivot and hard rivet. This lever will go for decades without failure if lubed properly with our secret sauce.
