The minimum legal barrel length for a rifle without requiring it to be tax stamped and registered as a Short Barreled Rifle is 16 inches - that's federal law, and not just Vermont.
Not a State law- but a Federal law- the National Firearms Act of 1934- requires that a rifle that has a barrel less than 16 inches, or an overall length of less than 26 inches, must be registered as a "short barreled rifle" with the BATFE, and a transfer tax ($200) be paid for it. There ARE exceptions- rifles such as the Winchester Trapper Model with a 14 inch barrel is specifically exempted from this law.
According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the legal minimum length for a rifle barrel is 16 inches. If a rifle's barrel is shorter than 16 inches, it is classified as a Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR) and is subject to stricter regulations under the National Firearms Act (NFA). Additionally, the overall length of the rifle must be at least 26 inches to avoid SBR classification.
