Dynacomp, Griffin Comp

[HK Dave]

I own a battlecomp and was about to purchase another when I found out about the Dynacomp by Spikes and that Griffin also makes a comp.

Anyone have either the spikes or griffin version? I'm curious as to whether they work the same as the battlecomp. Would love to save $50.

(Not looking to start a VS troll B*tch session here, just curious to see if anyone actually owns any of the products and thinks they work as well as the battlecomp.)

From what I've researched, it's pretty much the same thing as the Battlecomp.

$109.95 and $5 off when using coupon code AR15 (Let me know if you find it for less because I'm gonna be picking up about 4 of them.)

Here's a Military Moron review.

I've also used a Battlecomp on this same upper, and found the recoil and muzzle jump reduction of the M4-SD to be about the same. Very little difference between the two in that respect - same thing with concussion.

I think the Dynacomp just started shipping. I'll be getting a Spike's upper with it installed (delivered in about a week).

I can give you a review then, but I've never tried a Battlecomp, so I can't compare the two.

We have the Griffin Comp's in stock, but still don't have our stock in yet for the Spike's comp's. For the most part, the Griffin comp's are going to be nearly identical to the battle comp in terms of performance based on third party testing thus far. They both have slightly different approaches, to the same end, more or less.

The Griffin is much harder, and there have been instances in which a mounted BC has been dropped on a gun and dented it enough to cause it to be unserviceable. This is a standard ~3ft drop as in a person falling, or it fell off a table, etc. No third party (or first party) testing on the RC hardness of the BC, but it's definitely not in the same ballpark as an A2 or Griffin.

The Griffin comp is ~45RC and an A2 is ~36RC, for comparison. It's a top quality unit, honestly. We wouldn't sell a brand new product if we didn't have complete faith in a sustainable long term market for it to attach our business to. I bought one from Griffin and threw it on my PLR-16 for some pre-testing and it all worked well, as a comp and a QD for my M4SD suppressor and so we decided to pursue it as a retailer.

In terms of suppressor attachments the griffin will be more compatible with multiple suppressors than the Battle Comp. The Spike's of course isn't going to be compatible unless you get the version designed to be a QD mount for a single can. I'd assume this isn't as big of a priority in some states such as California, but was a larger concern for us in the free states .

We are the only online retailer at this time that I am aware of that sells the Griffin comp, and our price is probably going to be as good as it gets as we buy at a higher pricing tier than most dealers are going to purchase at, basically.

Sweet! When can we expect them to come down to dynacomp prices so we can outfit all our rifles?

the drop test was on the dyna comp or the griffin? and who was the third party that did the test?

[UserM4]

Sounds like there wasn't a specific "test" per se but an accident that crushed the Battle Comp.

[PEBKAC]

Dynacomp looks intriguing. I'll probably pick one of the OPS inc spec threaded ones for my current build when they come out.

Correct. There has been no formal testing done on it. I've heard it from a few customers who have had 3gun buddies had it happen, etc. No direct "quote" or test, per se. There was a thread on m4carbine regarding the two in a type of "apples to apples" comparison of the two and BC and Griffin chimed in on both sides. BC's never released an actual RC number in that thread or anywhere I've seen, but they should have that data from the manufacturing of it and knowing what materials/heat treating goes into it.

Sweet! When can we expect them to come down to dynacomp prices so we can outfit all our rifles?

I know what the manufacturer (Griffin/Hearing Protection LLC) is paying for them to be machined/finished, and what we are buying them at in bulk quantities, so unless the volume rises to a much higher level I don't anticipate them dropping lower in price. The volume of the Spike's will most likely be higher, and I'm not quite sure what material/heat treating they are made of at this time. I can't really find any info? I might drop a question over on ARFCOM to see what Tom says.

From what i was told by BC, their 2.0 version is made tougher.

Just ordered a Dynacomp, going to test it out against my BC 2.0 and see how it goes.

When I scrounge up some more dough, i'll grab a Griffin and do review of all 3 or something.

Have you ever seen a RC #? I like comparing apples and apples.

Side by side comparisons are great. If someone spends $100+ on a muzzle attachment and doesn't have any others they're of course going to be partial to their choice .

RC #?

[JoeBobOutfitters.com]

RC #?

Rockwell hardness, RC scale.

Ah... actually didn't check the BC 2.0 vs Griffin... is it a big difference?

I've never heard an exact number even when BC chimes in on m4carbine, etc. It'd be good to know as a retailer or consumer, I was asking if you knew for sure.
