Quoted: Both are... Cold hammer forged 4150, both have twice chrome lining thickness, both mid-length. Spikes is a lil heavier. But the centurion has the pinned gas block option from the factory with their tabbed gas block. 4150? Where did you get this information? |

Out of the two you listed, I only have experience with Centurion so they get my vote. Plus, Monty and Corrie are great people.
If you’re referencing the 16in mid barrels, the Lt weight Centurion is 1.8oz lighter than the Spikes. The Centurion mid weight is 3.9oz heavier than the Spikes. You can also get polished feed ramps on the Centurion if that’s your jam. |

Centurion is machine gun steel 41V45 whereas Spikes is DIN 21CrM0V511 which is proprietary CMV alloy of FN. I'm actually not too sure of the difference there. |

Centurion. They're great people to deal with. Plus, the 16" is in stock... I managed to snag a couple in 2020 and hadn't seen them in stock until recently.

Looks like you've made your decision, but to further solidify it, I also say Centurion. Great products made by great people.

I have that spike's barrel, it is a tack driver. BIL also has one, his is a tack driver. I liked mine so much, and was impressed with his so much, that I bought another "Just because".

I also have the Spikes Optimal 14.5 CHF. Mine shoots great too. I do not own any Centurian. Sounds like you should get the best price.

Can't go wrong with either. Spikes can be had with a pinned block as well.
