As many airsoft enthusiasts will tell you, swapping out the stock barrel for any reason will usually net you a black/silver/whatever color barrel you want all the way down. This is usually done because many airsoft guns don't come with threads for barrel extensions and mock silencers or for performance issues.
In such a case, the barrel does not need an orange tip and it is not illegal to not have one. It is, however, ill advised to take said modified gun out into public.
More information on the subject can be found on many airsoft retailers websites that I won't name because they don't pay me and it's a breach of forum rules and etiquette.
That's unfortunate they found a loophole. If you remember back to when that legislation came about the intent of the law was to keep things like this from happening. It looks like it needs to be rewritten to include post shipping.
