Re: AR with 16 inch or less barrel?
Im not knowledgeable about the process, but a sub 16" rifle is not covered by your ltcf. Its considered a short barreled rifle which is a NFA item. I believe that you have to get a $200 tax stamp and the process is through the ATF which takes awhile.
Other people more knowledgeable will chime in i believe.

Re: AR with 16 inch or less barrel?
You are venturing into the NFA world with SBR's. AR uppers with the barrels less than 16" are on par or less than the longer barrels. They are also a dime a dozen and available from anyone making the larger AR parts generally. There is no supply and demand issue with them like with MG's that has driven up the price of MG's.
Anyone can buy a sub 16" barreled upper, it is not an NFA controlled item in of itself, just be cautious about having one around with AR lowers if you don't have an already registered SBR.
Figure out what SBR AR you want to build, then fill out the appropriate forms, submit your $200 tax, wait for approved form to get back, and then do your build. Or you may also purchase an existing made SBR. Read the stickies in the NFA section here.

Read in the NFA section in this forum. Getting the tax stamp for an SBR isn't particularly hard, it just takes a long time and $200. If you want to go the rifle route instead of a pistol go for that tax stamp!!
