Not for legal purposes or anything. But, for example in a bolt action rifle, is the measurement taken from where the barrel meets the action?
What about a break type shotgun? Thanks.

The barrel is measured from the breechface to muzzle.

[The barrel is measured from the (closed) breechface to muzzle.]
(emphasis added, above)
True for all firearms, excepting revolvers - where barrel length is measured from the forward face of the cylinder to the muzzle.
