14.5" I assume so NFA only?

I am not an FFL but I am thinking the upper length of 14.5 only matters if you put it on a rifle lower. Making it a short barrel rifle. I was at a gun show and asked about this a couple years back. I was told the lower is either registered as a rifle or pistol. I am sure an FFL will pop in to clear it up, but that was how I understood it.

Legal to own as the upper on AR style weapons is not the registered part.

With that said, you cannot attach an AR style upper with a barrel or barrel + permanent flashhider that is less than 16" to a rifle lower without first registering the lower as an SBR.

However, you can attach this lower to a pistol lower without a stock or vertical fore grip.

With all that, be careful of "Constructive Posession" when you have a short upper in the same location as a rifle lower that is not a registered SBR.

Is the barrel length specified in the original ad.. I missed it..

The M4 has a 14.5" barrel so I think that's what gigag04 was asking.

16" Barrel, M-4 Contour
