    Federal law sets rifle barrel limit at 16". Smoothbore barrels at 18".

    It's not the size of your barrel.......it's how you use it.

    ...or it could be a shorter barrel, with a permanently attached flash hider.
    As long as it ends up being 16" or longer.

    You could get a shorter barrel than 16", but then it's going to be class III.

    I'm sure you weren't suggesting it, but a barrel shorter than 16" with a permanently attached flash hider(making up the difference of the 16")does not require class III "paperwork".

    Just noting it for clarification.
