    Hmmmm.. I wonder if you made a threaded uzi cap, which had a short tube on it that *looks* like a barrel (but the 16" barrel slides through it)- that might satisfy your display criteria while not running afoul of the sbr law..

      California Code of Regulations...(c) "Barrel" means the tube, usually metal and cylindrical, through which a projectile or shot charge is fired. Barrels may have a rifled or smooth bore.

      Solid "barrel"...no harm no foul?

          The little aluminum stub that looks like a barrel (and is solid) essentially is held in place by the factory barrel nut. When installed it is totally non-functional, and cannot be made to be functional, as it is not long enough to mate up with the front of the bolt when fully forward.
          With the info that Quiet has posted relating to specific notices regarding A/B carbines, and if indeed true, that is a potential problem for the OP.
          One could also read it in such a way that merely placing a piece of material into the opening that may even remotely look like a barrel may also be problematic. Think a short wooden dowel, a piece of metal tubing, etc. One could also extend all this BS interpretation to say that a short piece of any type of tubing that lacked rifling could then be creating an illegal short-barrel shotgun?
          What is also disturbing is that nobody has yet been able to (as far as I have been shown here) produce any of the actual notices, or cite a specific code created by a legislature that was not merely an interpretation by some government agency.

          Yet more reasons of why the BOF needs to go away?

            Looking in my toolbox reminded me of this thread.

            I found a dummy barrel of some sort. For $1,000,000, I could not tell you who gave it to me, or what it fits. Whatever it fits, I don't have one ?

            Its aluminum. I'm tempted to turn it into a paper towel holder.
