If the pipe is tight by .060" it is likely much easier to find something
that fits and return the Amazon pipe.  What is the diameter of the section
that fits inside?  Is the 1" outside diameter also important?  12" overlap
on a Ø1" tube is pretty extreme.

I need to increase a beam section inside diameter about .06 inch.
The outside diameter of this Al pipe is1 inch.
Mosley was not receiving the element section for a few months.
Amazon had the right Al inch pipe made by an antenna company.
The new  6 foot long section needs to slide in 12 inches to the thinner
section.
The pipes won't slide together because the new pipes ID is a little too
thick
.
Thanks for advice,
