how would you go about repairing this kind of damage to a cue. would you core just into the front of the forarm to insert a tenon? would you remove the forarm and core all the way through? how would it change/affect the hit of the cue after repair compaired to the hit the cue had before it was damaged? what all would the repair include, such rewrap if the forarm has to be removed and/or refinish? and how much could i expect to pay for this kind of repair? additionally, this is a meucci 333-4 manufactured sometime around '93 or so.

Check halfway down this page for exactly that kind of repair. http://www.dzcues.com/in_progress.htm Only had to refinish the top half of the forearm - never touched the wrap. The customer said the cue played exactly the same after the repair.
 
will that have any affect on the structrual integrity of the cue? what could i expect to pay for this kind of repair? also feal free to PM me any responses as i'm not trying to instigate any kind of price war, just exploring my options.

This exactly what I would do!!!! (would you core just into the front of the forearm to insert a tenon? would you remove the forearm and core all the way through) I would core the center of the butt 3/4 Preferable or 5/8 depending on the diameter of the forearm.

Meucci cues are notorious for being under sized at the joint, I have even seen some that were as small as 818 thousands at the joint new. The rings could be saved and reused, the pin would have to be replaced though, which is no big deal.

I would also recommend a complete refinish, including a re-wrap. As for the cues hit, if the repair is done correctly the difference compared to before would be an improvement.

If someone brought this cue to me to repair, I would charge around $180 including the refinish.

This is a common repair. The cause, is from LEANING on the Q, when you break. If you don't change the way you break, you will continue to break the Q, in the same place...JER
