At one time I was issued by my agency an M1 Carbine with the barrel cut to the end of the stock, and the front sight remounted. It was the only "long" gun that would fit in our OV-1 aircraft, as long as we had the GI folding stocks. Anything else would have killed me if I had to eject (This was decades before the M4 guns). The guns worked just fine.
Legally, there are two parts to the law regarding length:
1. Overall length must be greater than 26"
2. Barrel must be greater than 16" (18" for shotgun)
Cut the barrel of any rifle shorter than 16" will get you 10 years as a guest of Uncle Sam, unless you buy the $200 tax stamp in advance.
