Yes for those that don’t know any rifle with a barrel length less than 16 inches needs to have a buch of extra paperwork and a tax stamp to the govt to register it as a “short barreled rifle” or it is a weapons related felony.
The most basic standard rifle of the US military, the M4, used a 14.5 inch barrel. Even if everything else was legal for the average citizen to own (semi auto only) it is considered a scary short barreled rifle by law. But add an extra 1.5 inches and it’s fine.
