Barrel length less than 16"
Less than 16 inch of barrel for rifle, less than 18 inch of barrel for shotgun.
An SBR is legally defined as a rifle with a barrel shorter than 16 inches, or an overall length of less than 26 inches. Pursuing that route requires registering the rifle as a Title II weapon (often referred to as an NFA weapon) under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and paying an excise tax.
Anything under 16". Barrel can be less if it has a permanently fixed comp so the total length is 16"
