If i get a barrel that is 14.5" in length, but permanently attach a muzzle break/ comp / whatever that is 2" is that legal? Technically the barrel would then be 16.5", which seems to be pretty legal to me.![[thinking]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/010.gif "Thinking [thinking]")

Welded or blind pinned are also legal. That's from the BATFE.
As was said, don't have it in the same location as a lower, until after it's made legal.
As Cross-X mentioned, what's the point? You can get an M4 profile 16" barrel, and they do work well.
If i get a 14.5" barrel w/ comp/brake it will be roughly 16", but if I have a 16" barrel with comp/brake, your talking closer to 17-18" barrel
Yes and if your CLEO will sign off on it. If he won't, you have to go the trust route. And the AWB still applies.
The Bushmaster Mini-Y Comp is about the same length as a issue flash supressor.
Frankly speaking, if it were me, I'd got with a plain 16" barrel.

Check out the barrels below. All can be had with no lug, and either a brake/comp or plain barrel.
Bushmaster 14/5" M4 Type Barrel Assembly w/AK Muzzle Brake
Bushmaster SuperLight 16" Barrel Assembly
Bushmaster Patrolman's Carbine - M4 Type 16" Barrel Assembly
Huh??? Is this another legal requirement?
What are the laws that this would violate? An unassembled gun with half the parts missing (Stripped lower) doesn't constitute a gun.
While I'm posting: I'm planning on ordering a post-ban upper (with bayo lug and flash hider) and then having both removed (since I want a certain gas block and Muzzle brake anyway) after I get it. Is there any problems with keeping the old gas block and FH for any future move to a free state or is mere possession of these items a problem?
I don't know what parts he has, if he has a AR already and gets a 14" barrel without the brake attached then its a SBR, even if its not assembled
That "If" is the point I'm wondering about. In my case I have a stripped lower and plan on having a complete upper assembly. Since it's NOT a complete weapon (the guts of the lower are missing), does that count?

The Court have said that a set of parts was not a short barreled rifle, unless the only way to assemble the parts was into a short barreled rifle. As this set had a legitimate, legal, use for all the parts it was OK. However they also approved of lower court cases holding that the sale by one person, at the same place, of all the parts to assemble an AR-15, with a short barrel, was sale of a SBR, even if they weren't assembled together at the moment of the bust, and had in fact never been assembled. See U.S. v. Drasen, 845 F.2d 731 (7th Cir. 1988)
