  The legal length for ANY rifle is 16". This is properly measured by closing the bolt and dropping a dowel (cleaning rod) down the barrel and marking at the end of the barrel. Remove rod and measure.
  
  Anything that can be taken off, like screw on brakes/suppressors do NOT count in length. If they are welded or blind pinned on they do count.
  
  There is NOT a legal length for an AR-15 as it depends on what you are building. IF you are building an AR-15 Rifle it has to be 16" (see above). If you were building a pistol or an SBR AR-15 then the barrel can be any length you want.
