| When barrels are measured does that length include the threaded section where the muzzle device goes? Because it seems if they did count that and you had a 14.5" barrel with a 1.5" muzzle device it would still be an SBR since its not actually 16" over all. |

Quoted:
Yes, the threaded part is part of the barrel. My BCM is 16.25" overall. So is it just assumed that they're always gonna have that .25"? Like if I go buy a 16" barrel from DD or Colt or any other manufacturers will it most likely be a 16.25" barrel even though its marketed as 16"? |

Generally when we say a barrel is 16 inches it is actually slightly longer from bolt to tip. You won't likely find one otherwise. It becomes a game when it involves pinned breaks. For example I have a 13.7 inch barrel with a BE meyers pined that comes to just over 16.1 |
