Schon butt extensions question, how do they attach?

I need to get an extension but want to know more about how it attaches to a Schon cue. I have the longer heavier weight bolt, the bumper, and the screw that holds the bumper in place. As is, the cue is weighted perfectly the way I like it.

In this configuration, how does the extension attach to the butt of the cue? I can only imagine you would have to remove the bumper and screw, and the extension would thread into the end of the weight bolt?

I do not want to alter the current weight of the butt when the extension is not in place. I envision an extension that may have a press fit bumper that had a center hole in it that would allow the extension to thread through the bumper, into the weight bolt?

What's a good method to get an extension on my cue and hopefully not disturb it's current weight when the extension is not in use? I'm aware of the "slip on" extensions but would prefer to have something that feels a bit more seamless when installed.

Thanks for the replies.

So the longer weight bolt takes up too much space and wouldn't allow this?

An ext will change weight/bp a lot. No way around it with a Schon. RickRoper's were the best as far as attachment goes but they still changed weight/bp.
 
Schon's are probably the least 'extension friendly' cues out there. They were never designed for one and none offer really seamless use imo. They all change weight/bp too much for me. If i was to get one of those from Budget i'd get the 4" and just leave it on. Even that would probably lead to a butt heavy feel.
 
I have zero problems making my Schon's with extension bumpers any weight I want to within a 1/10 of an oz. We just went through all of this not a week ago, and many many times in the past. Feel free to look it up. I'm tired of posting pictures and solutions to Schon extensions. People should try a little search first, you would be surprised at what you can find on your own.

You could just simply ignore and pass such threads

i read a couple and have this: are any aftermarket already made ext's made today any good? it sounds like that what you've done is to make the ext yourself. Am i right here? You buy the ext kits and make yourself? If this is right there a lot of people that aren't going to do that. Also, how do you fine tune to 10th's of a oz? trimming the bolt to weight i guess? thanks............

Well he did let him know that this was covered recently and now the OP can also use member search function to try to find the info. A link would have been helpful but not absolutely necessary.
 
Doing some research on the Budget Billiard extension for Schon, I found this review of it on their web site. Interesting what he says about deleting the OEM weight bolt affects the hit, at least in his opinion. I emailed Budget asking how to get this additional free weight bolt if I order. Will update here.

"I really enjoy the extension. It works great and was easy to install on my 30+ year old Schon cue. Two pieces of advice. 1) Make sure that you request the free extra weight bolt when ordering your extension. I found that without the weight bolt the sound of the hit would be different especially on draw shots. This is due to there being an empty space where the original weight went. Putting in a shortened weight bolt filled the void, and the sound went back to normal".
