9 ft lb hw97k that kicks like mule.

Its a metal weight that adds mass to the piston . If you have left it in then it adds more preload to the spring which may cause it to shoot harshly .

If left in then you have that then a top hat which is a fair bit of preload . but i'm guessing it would not cock as the spring guide would hit the top hat before the rifle cocked .

So this would not cause the rifle to shoot harshly in its standard form?as it's been a nightmare to shoot from day one it really has.getting groups atv20 yards was never easy.

Not sure on that but if its still in there it will add extra preload to the spring as you have also fitted a top hat .

Never shot a rifle with the metal weight in it as my HW99S was second hand and possibly had the metal weight removed by the previous owner.
