Best Answer

As long as you don't violate BATFE regulations on overall length (26" or longer) and barrel length (minimum 18").

Your barrel has to be over 18" long! I have shortened several, and make them at least 18 1/2" from the closed bolt, usually longer. Otherwise you are committing a federal felony.
