I have been thinking of doing the same thing, I am leaning toward buying the pistol version then adding a stock once the stamp comes back.

I bought the factory SBR on form 4, easiest way to go, not sure the barrel swap is so hard if you have the right tools, depending on how much they torqued the barrel down.
As far as adding a stock to the pistol, it may be just a matter of drill/tap but haven't compared side by side. My factory SBR has the detachable stock so that's another plus if you go with that model SBR, worth the extra money. |

Thompsons are heavy, the length of pull is insanely long and the sights are pretty poor, they are iconic and a blast to shoot though.
The positives outweigh the negatives on the subgun, but the semi auto version leaves something to be desired. My $.02. |

I recently SBR'd a Thompson myself. I was able to do the barrel swap myself. I did replace the buttstock with a GI one. They're pretty cheap on ebay. The short barrel I got from IMA. It's an absolute blast to shoot.

My $.02. pretty much my realization every time the urge surfaces... but then again I do own a MAC10. |
