i think you have to get the carbine and shorten it. I am not positive, and I admit such a rule makes no sense, but hey, that's gun laws.
Step one would be to goto the ATF site and request the form.

If you put a stock on a pistol, or shorten a rifle barrel, you are still making a Short Barrelled Rifle (SBR). Same Form 1, same $200. I personally recommend establishing a Revocable Living Trust to do it. Fill out the Form 1 in duplicate, copy them to be 2-sided, and send in with a check, copies of the Trust info, and wait.
Here's a link to the latest revision of the form.

REALLY, guys.. for the 3rd time this week.. if you don't understand the rules don't post opinions in this forum. It's mind boggling to see guys with 1500+ posts make blatantly wrong statements.
Now onto the question and the RIGHT answer..
P99AS9, you want to complete a "Form 1" to manufacture a "Short Barrel Rifle". You can do that with the GSG-5 pistol. It's very easy. You can get the form from titleii.com and instructions for filling it out are all over the internet and this forum. It's essentially the same as buying a silencer. AFTER you get the approved form back and your $200 stamp you can buy and attach the butt stock. DO NOT BUY the stock before hand. That could be seen as constructive possession.
This is what your GSG-5 SBR could look like:

Getting a pistol and putting a stock on it after getting the stamp is far easier and cheaper than buying a rifle and cutting down the barrel and putting a muzzle device on it...
