If a rifle has a total length of less than 26 inches, or a barrel length less than 16 inches, under FEDERAL law it is a Class III firearm, and in the same legal class as a machnegun. "Short Barreled Rifles" must be registered with the Federal BATFE, and a transfer tax paid on them. Possession of an unregistered SBR carries substantial penaties including prison time.
