Any barrel length and overall length is legal in the US.
However, rifles with barrels less than 16 inches and overall length less than 26 inches are regulated under the National Firearms Act, which means that buying one or making one you have to pay a special tax. There are forms to be filed with the ATF and you get a special stamp as proof of payment.
