10/22 12" threaded barrel?

If you say so.

Product testing in an OEM manufacturer factory is part of the ongoing R&D and does not constitute an "end user" product... therefore it is not subject to the regulations regarding barrel length and modification.
 
If you say so.
See if you can find where the law says so.
A manufacturer can manufacture barrels any length the manufacturer chooses.
A manufacturer - or anyone else - can cut a rifle or shotgun barrel to any length he chooses.
A cut barrel is just a cut barrel and has no particular legal status.
If a barrel cut to below the legal minimum is installed in a firearm, the firearm becomes prohibited.
There is no exemption in the law for a manufacturer to install shorten finished barrels which have been cut shorter than the legal minimum in a firearm without it becoming a prohibited firearm - unless the manufacturer is licenced to manufacture prohibited firearms.
