Southwest Shaft on another cue

[maxeypad2007]

I have a pile of southwest shafts with various different joint collar styles.

If I have a cue that already has a southwest style pin in it (the shaft even screws on) but the joint collar on the southwest shaft is a little too wide for the cue is it trivial for a cuemaker/repair person to add me a new joint collar so that it will fit flush on the cue?

I'd really like to have a cue for when I travel with a southwest shaft but without the concern over the cue getting stolen. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

I am not a cue maker, but I know one that lives close. They can do almost anything for a price. You might want to post this in the cue makers section to get more responses.

Cuemakers can do just about anything with a cue....

About 15 years ago a buddy of mine had a local cue maker put a SW pin in a Tim Scruggs sneaky pete butt. I sold him an old SW shaft from the 80's with a micarta ferrlue on it. Still one of the best playing cues I've ever hit with.:smile:

why risk the shaft either if you're working on the why risk it logic. send the specs to shmelky and have them build you a sneaky to the same specs

Any cuemaker can turn down the joint end of the shaft on a lathe so the collar fits flush to the cue
