I work with several machinists which are capable of making a valve from a stainless rod, but we apparently lack the equipment/tooling to make the seat and the inside threads properly.
They have taught me a lot. I can refill a Crosman valve transfer port and mounting screw, to replace them at 90 degrees with a new angled port.
If you find a local guy that is willing, he won't be cheap. It takes a lot of time.
How about approaching the creator of the max-flow valves, it wouldn't be that different than what he's already accomplished. Stainless is harder/slower to work with, but other than that it's the same to work with.

No! The stock 2240 exhaust valve is a POS!
