Disregarding the material used, I'm wondering what the most common weight bolt is as far as diameter, pitch and thread. Im also wondering what the most common weight bolt _should_ be as far as availability, I assume it would be a under a ISO (A ball M10x1.5 or something like that).
The most common weightbolt?

Viking and I believe Joss currently use shoulder-less "1/2-13" threads that require a 1/4 inch hex driver...but they haven't always (2nd pic). They can be stacked and moved further in/out (forward/rearward). Others like McDermott I believe use same thread size but use an actual bolt with a head so you may need to swap one length for another to change weight (first pic).
You can google all this too.

Weight bolts, which I am not a fan of, should be headless and weigh no more than 1/4 oz.
This allows you to position the bolts in the cored cue butt to balance & distribute the weight
versus just screwing a 1/2 , 3/4 or .....OMG....1 oz bolt, or heavier, in the cored butt. Frankly,
I prefer having no weight bolt like the last custom Bob made for me. It is cored to accept one
if desired. I requested a 14.5 ounce butt wt. & he made the butt 14.55 oz & 4.1 oz shafts.

I have mosty Viking cues. They use shoulderless bolts so I have dropped a wood dowel in ahead of them to tighten against if I want the weight(s) more rearward.
