VQR 5/16x18 and After Market Shafts

[Miller]

simple question (I think....)

will an after market 5/16x18 shaft (i.e. cuetec cynergy) fit on a viking 5/16x18 quick release butt?

thanks.

Hello Miller
It would depend on how they made the insert. If they were made to spec using and F drill (.257) then no, it won't fit. I have seen some made using a 17/64" drill. That will fit.

As Michael said, some slight modification might be necessary. The good news is that it's a quick and easy job for anyone with the proper equipment.

Thank you for the information. Take care.
