McDermott Joint Question

This joint is on my H series cue. The joint on the butt is a bit loose and there is a tiny gap where it meets the top of the butt. It appears to be tight when the shaft is screwed on but it turns slightly (maybe 1/10") when the shaft is screwed on and off. I'm assuming the joint is screwed on to an insert in the butt. My question is this.
Can I unscrew this to inspect it to see what the problem might be or should I just send it to McDermott or some other cue maker? Thanks!

I’d send it in. I had this happen before I started working on cues. Sent it back to McDermott and they put a new collar on for free. The new one was a couple thousandth larger than the old one though. They just tapered the new one a little more so the shafts still matched perfectly.

The joint and joint screw are one piece. There is a short hub on the joint screw. If your shaft was faced off at some point, that could be your problem.

I think you misunderstood my friend. I believe the steel joint is turning a quarter turn and you can see a gap between the joint and the forearm. Of course I could be the one effing this up😁
