I basically have this setup.  I have the complete spikes upper with lightweight (i dont think mine is considered a pencil) barrel and dynacomp.  My rifle is a dream to shoot, and its really light.  That was my goal with this build, a short, light "go-to" rifle.  I finished my build last spring, i believe I got this upper for $500 at the time, also from PSA...

The lightweight 14.5" barrel is a "pencil" barrel.

Interesting, i could have sworn in the description it said it was light-weight, but specifically said it was not a pencil barrel..  I could def be wrong tho, i shopped around forever for my upper.  I was being so indecisive about what I wanted...

From what I understand and have read, lightweight and pencil barrels are the same thing. Just different names to describe them.

I want to jump on this but wasn't expecting them back until Thanksgiving.. gotta try to scrounge up the funds.

Ordered today. It stung a bit on the finances given the time of the year but I thought it was too good to pass up. Ordered a spikes lower as well. I have a spikes enhanced LPK, tube and heavy buffer. Basically an all spikes rifle other than the stock.

Nice! I am digging mine that I got from AIM the last time they were available. They ship fast. I had it in like 3 days.

Cool. Let me know how you like it. I think I. Going that direction for my build. Unfortunately I can't swing the funds for another month or so. Hopefully they're still available, or back again.

I was really torn between waiting for the 14.5" lightweight upper to become available again or going for the one below which was available a couple of weeks ago.  I ultimately ordered the 16" upper and it is now sitting at my FFL's waiting for me to decide on a brake to make it NJ compliant.  Still debating whether to go with a battlecomp or dynacomp.

Thats the beauty of the 14.5" though, it already has a dynacomp pinned and welded on....

You are absolutely right, plus the the 14.5" is a true lw pencil barrel while the 16" is an "optimum profile" so you do save a few ounces there in addition to the 1.5" in barrel length.  One factor that made up my mind is that I probably would have switched out the BAR rail.  While everything I read says that it is a great rail it is really too large for someone with small hands.

I prefer the lightweight 14.5" Midlength.  I have it.  It's awesome.

Wow, aim surplus knows how to do shipping and handling.  First it was free UPS and second I'll have it basically next day.  I ordered on Friday and according to the UPS web tracking it scheduled for delivery on Monday at my house.
