I apologize for the confusing wording in the last post. The .553 inches is the maximum diameter that the cap can be to safely press into the tube without cracking the blank. Anything over that will not safely press into the tube. Again I apologize for the confusion.

Thanks for the clarification and follow-up to the problem alot of us are facing!
 
I also agree that CSUSA has great after sale support.
I had this problem for quite some time, and to solve it I purhcased this 30 $ kit with "hand drilling machine" and about 100 different brushing/drilling parts.
I just lightly touch inside of the clip and it nicley slide's onto the cap.

Eric -- although not as severe -- I've had a similar problem with the Jr Statesman II kits. I ordered 12 of the kits on August 18 and the clip fit too tightly on the top cap. Normally, I just slip the clip on and then press the clip-cap assembly into the completed cap blank. With 8 of the kits I received I had to press the clip on the top cap in an extra (split) tube and then knock out the clip-cap assembly. I could then press this clip-cap assembly on the cap blank as usual. Again, not a showstopper because I have a work-around. It is a nuisance, though.

I think in this case, the clip is the problem rather than the cap -- just an FYI in case others have the problem, too.
