BradfromND Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've got a buddy looking to build an upper on a budget and is looking at the corvette comp from Nordic Components. Anyone have any experience with this one. I've got a Cooley comp on mine so if anyone has shot both, how do they compare? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blairmckenzie1 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Just seen one at a match. Its loud and throws some pretty good fireballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1778 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) That Nordic is very good, in my experience. Also, the Dynamic Resistance brake over at CarbonArms.us is very good. It's also compact and light. Given the modest size of the Corvette, it is impressive that the DR one is even smaller and lighter. I think someone with actual high-speed gas dynamics designed it from the start; thus, the efficiency. I have a Corvette in my parts bin waiting to be used on a redesigned upper, someday. Meanwhile, the the Dynamic Resistance brake is on my current 18" competition rifle given the size advantage. I recommend the Nordic or the DR. Grab one and drive on. Over-thinking brakes is a popular pastime. Don't fall for it. Your buddy should make a choice and go with it. [Edit: from the shooter perspective, I didn't find it any louder than my Rolling Thunder. To the side, yeah it could well be loud, but they all are. And yes, certain ammo can make some spectacular side flame/flash. Sure as heck isn't a flash hider.] Edited February 10, 2014 by michael1778 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've got the one from Carbon Arms. Seems to work well. I think the JP "tank" comp is the very best, but, it'll put you in open class if you are going to shoot 3-gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClutchUSMC Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) I have a few corvette comps on my guns. I have tried lots of comps over the years. There are 2 groups in my mind those that work and those that don't. The corvette comp works. Honestly I can't tell much of a difference from the seekins, sjc titan, rolling thunder, jp cooley, miculeck, corvette comp etc and have used them all at one point. But then again I am not the very best shooter so maybe it doesn't matter for me. Not the best view of it but this gun runs one and I shoot it about as fast as I can slap the trigger, as you can see the rifle doesn't move.

LIKE2SHOOT Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I run the corvette comp and it works. Same as the titian and the cooley comp. It is loud and get the people putting there hands over there ear muffs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I put a Corvette Comp on my SBR when I am not using the suppressor. The comp works great even on the short barrel. My only complaint is the muzzle flash but that is due to the short barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkCO Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 The Corvettes are pretty good. The Miculek a little better, the Dynamic Resistance and Seekins are both a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 A tip on the Corvette for 308 use!! drill the small holes out larger,.....I don't recall the diameter but Tim Ubl at Taccom can tell you, or Kenny at Nordic. Given the small size of the MB, I personally feel it is much more efficient than the larger MB's, some of the larger ones are effective based on the extra weight, which IMO, is something I'm trying to avoid.

Patrickxx Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I've got both a corvette and a rolling thunder. My preference is towards the rolling thunder due to the noise of the corvette it's flat out loud. However it does shoot soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon64 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I think this is the direction I'm going to take my dissy build when it gets time for the upper. Already have the JM, just want to try something else out. Variety is the spice of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
