Hi guys.

I have a question please regarding my 3 year old SFS HW99s imp. And my question Is, why doesn't the imp come fitted with a top hat? I only know this because I remember hearing Tony Wall giving this info to a customer at SFS when I collected the rifle from his shop.

And because I'm not handy with airguns or Indeed never actually stripped a springer down myself, I'm a bit confused. Why, because even I know that a spring air rifle needs a guide and a top hat to keep the spring stable during the firing cycle. So If that's the case, why hasn't the imp got a top hat fitted? My imp Is a joy to shoot, the cocking cycle Is as smooth as silk, the recoil Is minimal and the accuracy Is superb. But how can this be the case without a top hat? Why fit a top hat to any air rifle If such good results can be achieved without one?

Any info on this query guys will be greatly appreciated
