I just discovered that the tube length of the CSUSA Artisan Jr Gent kit changed.
The kit is a rollerball 10k gold.
The upper, or smaller, tube is about 1/8" shorter on this kit.

In general, Dayacom (the manufacturer) is not consistent on the junior series any more. They vary about 3/8" from longest to shortest on the body tube, the cap is much less.

Why?? Tube length on the body is not a critical dimension--if it's a rollerball, adjust spring tension in the finial, for a fountain pen, as long as the converter fits comfortably, the length is immaterial.

It does mess up those casting tube in blanks. One size won't fit all like they did before. Slight size differences usually are not a problem but bigger length differences could be.
