So... am I correct in saying even though it is a 14.5" barrel, the permenetly attached flashhider makes it a 16" barrel so it is really no different than the 16" barrel I have now length wise.
The NFA barrel requires a special permit.

This is the most correct answer.Kinda, but not exactly.
If the OP currently has a 16" barrel with a screw-on flash hider then total length is actually longer than 16". A 14.5" w/perm is still about 1.5" shorter than a regular 16" barrel with flash hider.
