Stock Top hat Setting set @ .105

Not really. The Chrony will tell you the optimum set point. You only measure to determine the starting point for reference only.

The brass part under the top hat is about .010 below the black part of the bottle it that makes a difference.

According to Air Force technical support (aka Rachael) the top hat is set to remove any front to back slop when the breech knob is locked left/right.
The best way to adjust it is with a Chrony and this method:

That’s the factory setting my condor .22 came with. Perhaps he received a condor bottle and valve by accident???

Seems to me… Without a chronograph you are just pissing in the wind. I would wait until you have a chronograph handy before adjusting.
