Parts from Crosman FINALLY came in. Everything is ready to go, but I have a couple things that are still fuzzy.
I've polished the spring ends, and am considering a polished washer to go on the compression tube end of the spring to help free the spring up to twist. Question is, should the washer go between the piston and spring guide, or between the spring and the guide? Prolly a less than intelligent question, but the more I think about it, the more I can see reasons for doing it either way, and reasons not to either way lol.

the thrust washer should go between the top hat and piston.
You can make it out of brass or you make one from HDPE( high density poly ethylene) plastic. Makes the top hat spin with little resistants, especially if the top hat is polished.
If your top hat is hollow on the bottom that rests against the piston, like mine in the stoeger. You can get Teflon washers from hardware store, that will fit with some elbow grease. Then install a plastic thrust washer in piston. This makes for a wickedly smooth shooter.
I have also crazy glued HDPE to the tophat bottom and made a thrust washer from plastic, then used a dab of plumbers grease on bottom of tophat again smooths things out. Would be ideal to have tophat fit snug on spring but will work without that.
