Does not have to be anything, let alone legal. Maryland rules bear no resemblance to logic.
Even if it was an HBAR, 14.5 " barrel is a whole other world of complicated !@# where NFA SBR rules collide with MD 29" OAL requirement.
As an aside, I have never seen a square barrel before. I have seen octagonal barrels. DO the bullets have to be square too?
My understanding of HBAR is at least one of two things must be true:
1) Advertised/marketed as a heavy barrel
2) Stamped as heavy barrel
If my understanding is correct, it could be a 2" diameter depleted uranium bull barrel that weighs ten pounds and if one of those conditions isn't met, it isn't an HBAR.

Just gotta pin a flash hider or brake on the barrel to make the length over 16" and good to go
Puckle demonstrated two configurations of the basic design: one, intended for use against Christian enemies, fired conventional round bullets, while the second, designed to be used against the Muslim Turks, fired square bullets. The square bullets were considered to be more damaging. They would, according to the patent, "convince the Turks of the benefits of Christian civilization". The weapon was also reported as able to fire shot, with each discharge containing sixteen musket balls.[7]

It's really quite simple, when you think about it.
I am starting to feel that the whole hbar thing via internet forums has become speculatively cautious/afraid. IF something has the dimensions, then it has it in dimensions. If you bought two heavy fluted barrels, one advertised as heavy, the other not, there is no way the state can prosecute. fake news.

Ignoring all of the above, the stresses and perhaps minor inaccuracies of milling a square barrel around a round hole are unknown. Even if it is a perfect job, the harmonics of a square barrel might only be known to a couple nerds at Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
