What did everyone put down for OAL and barrel length on the Form 1? I see a consensus for 10.39" barrel length, but doesn't the overall length measure the length of the stock fully extended (in our case, just as-is) with all muzzle devices removed? The 19.88" that everyone seems to use (including's FN's site) seems to include the removable flash hider. The OAL w/ the muzzle device removed seems closer to 18".

I was looking on the forum in regards to this last night. I saw 10.4" for the barrel and 19.75" OAL.

I am pretty sure everyone is using 19.75-19.88 with the muzzle device attached. I read you’re supposed to take the OAL measurement with all muzzle devices removed unless it is pinned and welded.I was also told you cannot go shorter than what you reported as the OAL but could Go longer.

This is my understanding as well. I'm looking to do a form 1 myself pretty soon.
 
Once an SBR is approved you can do to it whatever you'd like. If you have a 14.5" AR and go to a 10" then to a 7.5" the ATF doesn't care, just like they don't care the caliber change either. My PS90 SBR was submitted as 19.9" for the record, and I took a rough guess when I did it since I didn't have a fully put together gun in front of me to measure when filling out the paperwork.
