Well, you might make a small threaded hole in the outer sleeve, put a Screw in it, and tighten it until it presses against the inner bar and stops the two from sliding. That screw is called a set screw. Set screws are also used to secure gears and wheels on shafts, preventing both sliding and rotation. Set screws appear with a variety of tip types;
