OK, I don't want to know about a gun that I need a tax stamp or Class III for. I'm asking about my regular, post ban Bushmaster Dissipator. It has a 16" bbl, and standard A2 buttstock. I've thought about getting a shorter, fake collapsible stock for it, to further reduce length. What is the legal overall length?

I believe 30 inches. But I'm not too sure. I'd like to know for sure myself.

Yes.
For a rifle it's 16" bbl and 26" overall.

That's correct unless restricted by state or local law.

Circuits has it right, for the FEDERAL standards.
In the PRK, any rifle (or maybe just semi-auto?) less than 30" is an AW.

By federal law, to not be a Short Barreled Rifle, the rifle must have: a 16" barrel and be over 26" long with the telescoping/collapsing stock extended, if so equipped. So, theoretically, you could have a gun only 16" long with the stock collapsed, such as an NEF rifle with a folding stock, as long as the stock extended 10".

Very interesting, I know that in FL it is 16" for a rifle bbl and 18" for a shotgun bbl.
Anybody know FL's standard for Overall Length of a rifle?? Also, the length for a shotgun would be nice too.
