    The front flange on the delrin tophat is too thin to last too.
    I'm rally not all that impressed by all the Vortek "innovation". Innovation is good when it creates stable products that are better than what came before.
    Innovation for the sake of creating something new to sell is just stupid.

    Our HW50s in 4.5 mm behaves very well. Spring is 215 x 19.1 x 2.9 x 29 coil x 38 lb/inch
    May be Wonky Donky's work. Can chrono tomorrow if it helps.

    My .22 has a Wonky Donky spring, guide and top hat in it and shoots beautifully. I didn't take a note of the dimensions prior to fitting, though.
