Did you buy it at the same place? Any chance you were shipped
the Dayacom Elegant Beauty? Those tubes are smaller.

Depending on where you got them -- there are two different pens with similar names and similar styles that are different is size.

the smaller is 23/64~ and I also found that out the hard way :0 Don't forget you will also need the smaller bushings to turn them also

I had the same problem with the first sierras I bought. It was a while ago so I am not sure where I bought the trimmer or kits, but I ended up buying a delrin sleeve to use with the 7mm trimmer. I don't remember using a caliper to measure anything, but as soon as I get home from vacation I will, and I will check to see where I bought them from.

after taking one of my existing stock apart i found that the old tubes are actually .003 larger than the new ones. and that .003 is just enough to make the trimmer not even start into the end of the tube
