Can I Get Authentic SCHON Joint Parts?

I really like the versatility of Schon shafts,
12mm - 14mm diameter, anywhere from 28" all the way up to 32" length without special order, and they're easy to come by.
Can I get just the parts needed to replace my cue joint with a genuine Schon joint?
My intention will be to use Schon shafts of different lengths and diameter on all the cue butts I have. I WANT ALL CUES OF MINE TO HAVE SCHON JOINTS.

I'm really not sure what you mean by 'versatility' of the Schon shaft.
It really only fits one cue, the Schon. Schon uses a specific pilot diameter of .530". Most other pilots are .500" or less.
As far as getting the parts, we normally just make them.
Since I'm not aware of who you are, I'm also not aware of your abilities, but I would say that if you are not capable of making the parts, you might not be capable of making the 'repairs'.
 
Are you maybe referring to the 5/16-14 piloted, black w/ silver ring shaft collar, SS cue collar type joints in general? There are many makers that use this config, but may use different joint diameters, pilot diam's, etc. Even the 5/16-14 threads are tighter on some than others. Lots of after market shafts available, too.
KJ is one of many knowledgeable & highly experienced cue experts here that can provide whatever service you need.

If you must...

As was alluded to before - Schon's 5/16 is NOT the same as a 'real'
5/16 pin - so first off you will need an undersized pin for all your butts.

Then, there is the collar(s) of the joints that may need to be changed.

I would contact Mike Webb - he does excellent work, and, IIUC
has everything required to do the job.

I think the answer is pretty obvious, since you called a factory & they said NO. Your post is a little confusing. Do you have Schon cues & you want new shafts OR do you want schone parts to make shafts for another brand of cues...JER

In re-reading the OP's orig. post, I think I may have a better understanding of what he's asking.
My current thinking is that he believes that having Schon shafts fit exactly as intended on other cues, he'll duplicate the hit/feel of a Schon, particularly if that cue/handle has a Schon style joint.
Man, talk about a can of worms!!!

First of all, almost any steel jointed cue can be modified to accept the Schon shaft correctly, as intended by Schon.
It doesn't need Schon-factory parts to accomplish this.

Secondly, the hit of a Schon cue is the result of the sum total of ALL of it's parts, not just the joint collar. From the tip to it's bumper, every part is designed & selected to contribute to the overall package that is known as the Schon 'hit'. Just changing the joint collar alone won't do this.

I can summarize this very quickly for you. If you like the hit of the Schon, buy a Schon cue and be done with it. It's the only way you'll get the true Schon hit.

I'm not in agreement with the OP about non-standard Schon shafts being available without a special order either. Seybert's is a Schon dealer and I guarantee you that you will not find one 32"/14mm Schon shaft available on anyone's shelf without a special order. You're going to wait 4-6 weeks just for a 30" shaft.
