A demonstration of your intention to not make an illegal NFA item.

Rifle barrels need to be 16" long, minimum. The regulations allow you to count permanent attachments toward that 16" - which is a bonus in your favor. But you're looking that gift horse in the mouth, instead of realizing that they could have just said the minimum length is chamber + rifling, only.


In general, the laws aren't there to physically prevent you from breaking them. This law is more about helping your not accidentally get in trouble.
