No, I'm pretty sure not.

Yes, it's legal to use a permanently attached silencer to increase the length of a rifle barrel to >16" so the rifle remains a non-NFA firearm.

While it's legal, I would suggest it's generally not a good idea though. Just pay the extra $200 and register an SBR too. Integral suppressors are nice, but they generally have a way to remove the baffles for cleaning, which isn't necessarily the case with a suppresor that was designed to be removable but that has been pinned.

Also if you only have one suppressor, you're stuck with it on that gun and can't move it to another.
