One possible reason -- to be able to use that butt with other shafts he owns and likes that are from other cues with 3/8 x 10 pins.

No Dowel Needed

I wouldn't think that you would have to dowel the shaft to retap it to 3/8-10 form 5/16.

it might fit without doing that but you know what they say. the devil's in the details

5/16 pins use an brass insert in the shaft that is bigger than 3/8. For the feel of the 3/8X10 that he is looking for the insert would need to be drilled out and a wood plug inserted.

Not to far from you, you have Aerial Carmelli, Joey in cali and Kenny Koo. I would start there.

Plug will be needed

Your right. I forgot about the 7/16 insert.
