Has anyone had any experiance with removing the butt cap from a Schon? Don't want to just tear into it. Thanks

Just had them replace one the other month. Was too nervous to do it myself. Not cheap,$100, but was somewhat worth it, as I stopped by their place to drop it off, and bs'ed with them for 15 min or so.
you need I think a 11/64 allen wrench to take the screw out just pull the butt cap out. call schon and have them mail you a new one. maybe 10-15 bucksHas anyone had any experiance with removing the butt cap from a Schon? Don't want to just tear into it. Thanks
Talking about the butt cap, not the bumper.you need I think a 11/64 allen wrench to take the screw out just pull the butt cap out. call schon and have them mail you a new one. maybe 10-15 bucks
It is still quite common that delrin butt caps are not epoxied. The weight bolt holds them in place. In a lot of cases, the slop between the tenon and the delrin cap is rediculous. The good part is, it's repairable so if fits correctly and can also be epoxied.Bumper, easy, small allen wrench would do it. Butt Cap? You've gotta be kidding me. It's been a long time since butt caps went in without epoxy. Why would anyone want to remove it, unless it was damaged? And then that's a cue repairman's job, not some lonely joe...
Schon bumpers are about 1.015 outer diameter. Mezz is threaded M14x2. It's Not going to fit.Sorry, my mistake should have said bumper not butt cap. I look at it and it doesn't appear to be an Allen screw.
I am trying to see if a Mezz X-bumper would fit in a Schon. I try again with the Allen. Thanks

Good point on the delrin butt caps. But, I think it's been quite awhile, if ever, that Schon used a delrin butt cap.It is still quite common that delrin butt caps are not epoxied.

I haven't seen a Schon without a delrin butt cap yet. Not saying they don't exist. I just haven't seen one.Good point on the delrin butt caps. But, I think it's been quite awhile, if ever, that Schon used a delrin butt cap.
Also, my delrin butt capped cues are not only epoxied, but they are threaded as well.
All the best,

I've had a couple that had sort of a 'yellowish' material that wasn't bright white like the delrin ones. Is that just a different color of delrin?I haven't seen a Schon without a delrin butt cap yet. Not saying they don't exist. I just haven't seen one.
I've seen all 3 colors.I've had a couple that had sort of a 'yellowish' material that wasn't bright white like the delrin ones. Is that just a different color of delrin?
I'm going to agree with that. Looking at thier web site, it says butt caps 100.00 and does not include refinishing.Ive seen both. But by 87/88 were standardized into what I assume is/was a white or black ABS type material. Any ones I see after say 1990 with "Delrin" were replacements caused by a missed ball/floor collision incident.
Talked to Rick will be getting an extension from him. ThanksYou wanting extension? If so contact Rick Roper. I put contact info in Cue Accessory section. Makes great stuff.
