    Spikes Dynacomp long or short

    would there be any advantage to the extreme longer model versus the shorter model in terms of control or recoil reduction? they seem like a great brake for the price, stout, melonited, a design that seems proven, and thoughts

    What rifle are you putting it on? What is the barrel length?

    The extreme model is for pinning a 14.5" barrel to an OAL of 16"+. That is why there is a hole for the blind pin. If you are running a 16" barrel already, or putting it on an SBR, there is no benefit to go with the longer and heavier Extreme.

    Have you considered a Battlecomp 1.0? Lots more fans of them here than anything made by ST. If you are gonna buy something from ST, make sure you get it before the next election. A "rise in materials" may happen the moment Obama is reelected and costs may go up 60% again.

    I havd a midlength 16, my question was asking benifits of this type of break, of course it would weigh a few grams more, and they way you speak, it seems your condident of obamas relection. I would have more hope, maybe somone else could answer with a more technical response

    I can't even understand what you just said. Benefits of what brake? The Dynacomp vs. Others or the Short Dynacomp vs. Extreme Dynacomp? Be more specific.

    If you have a 16" Midlength, you should get the short model. There is no benefit to the longer model. As I said, the Extreme model is for pinning a 14.5" to 16" OAL. That is about as technical as it can get. The brake will provide decent muzzle climb reduction with an increase in blast and concussion.

    Obama's reelection is not assured, but Spike's raising their prices if it happens sure is.

    If they are making 2 different baffle sizes for different barrel lengths of the same caliber and not marketing them individually, they are doing it wrong.
    The only thing the larger one will provide you on a 16" gun is more weight.
    You dig your grave with your fork.

    They market the Extreme model to the 14.5" Pinned market and the Short model to the 16" or NFA crowd.

    Just like Battlecomp

    hey man i came off as rude sorry, just came here from Arfcom trying to get better discussions. After reading some posts here and seeing the layout, M4 seems more technical, and in turn is probably using better equipment. I figured the Battle comp was a favorite, and the dynacomp is obviously a copied version to an extent. I have a tromix break now and its loud, im just trying to find something new and functional. thanks for the responses

    The only reason you'd want the longer version is if you are going from 14.5'' to 16'' in order to make it legal. Performance will be the same. Since you have a 16'' barrel, get the standard version. Or, better yet, try out a Battlecomp. I have one on my race gun. It's an outstanding product. There is a mild concussion, but it's not overpowering, even indoors (assuming you're using proper hearing protection). No experience with the Spikes. You won't find much love for that brand here.

    Yeah the short Dynacomp is the one you want between the two for the reasons already mentioned. Having used the Battlecomp, Dynacomp, and Griffin SD I can't really say I have noticed any difference. I bought a BC when they first fbut hit the market but wouldn't hesitate to get one of the others in the future.
