does the ATF consider the barrel the part of the firearm with a rifled bore or is bore length and barrel length different in the eyes of the ATF?
if somebody makes an AR with a a 10 inch bore with a 6 inch faux suppressor, is that still considered a 16 inch barrel?
all i understand is that the ATF measures the length of the tube of the receiver of a firearm from the end to the bolt face.
tl;dr what is the legal definition of "barrel" and "bore"

yes as long as it's permanently attached
I believe the faux suppressor would work if it was welded to the barrel since 14.5 inch barrels are good to go with a muzzle device pinned and welded.

i know on the kel tec SU series rifles, they submitted one with like a 15 inch barrel but it had a 1 inch muzzle device and the ATF said it was a 16 inch barrel, even though the actual barrel was 15 inches
man the ATF and the NFA need to get their shit together, pic relate

Referring to the Glock picture of course, forgot to clarify

And how come you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

this. although, aside from clone reasons, theres not much reason to do what your asking. a 10" barrel with a 6" faux supressor has all the drawbacks of a SBR with none of the pros

Only if it's permanently installed (welded)
I own a similar rig, except it's a flash suppressor, not mall ninja gear
