    I am a big fan of the 314-2 shaft and taper. Long story short my original that I had made for my cue with matching ring work is out of service. My cue has a 5/16-14 pin. I have found some new condition 314-2 shafts, but they are in the uniloc pin. Can a cue maker alter these to fit my pin size...
