The only specific example of a muzzle device being counted that I know of is the Troy PAR. The folding stock ones were deemed R at first, that decision got appealed and they came back NR because the second time around they counted the pinned on muzzle device.
At one point my friend contacted the CFP about the legality of a 10/22 w/folding stock, and was told via email from a tech that a muzzle device does not count towards OAL. In this same exchange we were told pinning/gluing the folding stock wouldn't cut it, once a folding stock always a folding stock (although the keltec CMR is available in an NR form with the collapsing stock modified so it can't collapse all the way).
So it would seem that a permanently attached muzzle device should count (based on the precedence set by the PAR) while one that isn't permanent does not. The fact the par one is from the factory may or may not be a factor.
In other words, who the #### knows. The answers we got from the lab are contrary to how certain guns have been classified.
Why do buying a barrel got to be so dam complicated. Lol
Stupid barrel length laws.
The IBI MS with the .750 GB journal sounds good.
It’s only a lb or little less than the Faxon.
Only thing is it’s not honed and I’m not sure if that even matters.
But reliable mentions it twice in the same add,almost like a big flashing warning sign ��

Reliable copied/pasted the description from the IBI website when IBI offered that barrel as a special run. Also Reliable is charging more $$ than what I paid directly from IBI.
You can email Ryan at IBI and ask if he will make his top tier barrel to the same profile as the economical "special run" barrel. Tell him you basically want the Myers/Stacey barrel but you don't want the .936" gas block due to handguard incompatibility.
He is usually quick to reply and is easy to deal with. Turnaround time is also fast. He made me a .243 Win barrel for a Stag 10 and I had it in my hands in 5 weeks and that included them having down time over Christmas and New Year's.
As far as honed vs hand lapped only... I also am not sure how much that matters. I don't think Ryan would put a barrel out with his reputation attached if it was junk.
A lot of the slimmer handguards out there have an internal diameter of 1.36" and sometimes less. A regular .936" gas block will squeeze inside but it is going to be such close tolerances that you can have contact during firing or even from simply exerting down pressure on the handguard when shooting from a bench. Try fitting an adjustable gas block in there and you might as well forget it.
There are a few handguards with larger inside diameters if you look around or even tubular ones like the JP Enterprises that won't have an issue with the .936" gas block.
Regardless, I like a barrel that uses the smallest gas block possible for the contour. Not sure why there's a few companies that step up the gas block size more than necessary.
