According to him, the tube was part of the barrel and did not require a tax stamp as a SBR as long as it was the required 16". Subjective but from a good source.

I'm thinking that the length of a rifle barrel isn't the length of rifling but the length of the tube. But I don't know for sure.

The total length of the barrel, tube, flashider that is welded/pinned together
must be 16+ inches to avoid the $200 SBR tax stamp.
